The cooperative model already connects us — roasters, consumers, and farmer-owners — as partners in the same economy. TPRN is where that connection becomes direct action.

"The cooperative model already connects us. Coffee roasters and farmer-cooperatives are partners in the same economy — members of cooperatives, trading with cooperatives, building something together. TPRN makes that visible."
The cooperatives in our network bring decades of experience, deep community knowledge, and an unwavering vision for the future. They don't need anyone to hand them a project list — they originate, design, and lead every initiative themselves, drawing on their collective expertise and the priorities their members have set.
When you contribute to a project here, you're putting resources behind work already in motion — led by people who have been building their communities and cooperatives for generations.
Meet the cooperatives →Every project reflects the cooperative's own vision and priorities — developed from within, formally approved by their board, and managed by their own team. TPRN raises funds and reports results. The cooperatives do the rest.
Every cooperative in the TPRN network has an active trading relationship with Cooperative Coffees — the same coop that supplies Campesino Organic and Sweetwater Organic. You're deepening a connection that already exists through the coffee you drink.
Photos, narrative updates, and use-of-funds summaries — published here regularly by the cooperative itself. You follow the project from first dollar to final report.
Two Ways to Give
TPRN's overhead is covered by Sustainers — so every dollar you give to a specific project goes directly to the cooperative. No deductions. No administration fees.
Choose a project that matters to you. Every dollar you give reaches the cooperative — we fundraise for each project over a 6-month window, and all funds go directly to the cooperative team leading the work.
⏱ 6-month fundraising window per project
