Give
Your gift stays with the community that asked for it
On the Ground funds projects that coffee-farming communities have already chosen — and stays with them long enough to finish. Monthly giving is what makes multi-year commitments possible.
Most useful
Give monthly
Recurring gifts let us commit to a school year, a full training cycle, or an agronomy season before the money is in hand.
One time
Make a single gift
One-time donations go to current priorities, including active emergency appeals in the eastern DRC.
Where it goes
What donations fund
Gender equity in the DRC
Year-round training for women coffee farmers and their husbands, legal clinics, and literacy and numeracy classes with the Muungano cooperative.
Orphan and student education in the DRC
Tuition, school fees, uniforms, books and supplies for orphaned children in eastern DRC coffee-farming communities who have lost parents to conflict, natural disaster or treatable illness. $110 keeps one child in the classroom for a full school year.
Launch new projects
Seed funding for new work where the need is greatest — clean water access, healthcare, education and direct support for farming families.
Emergency response
Food, medical care and shelter for families we already partner with when conflict, flooding, eruption or disease outbreak hits.
