We have committed to supporting causes we believe are worthy.  To date, we have supported two organizations we believe are making a difference in the lives of those they serve.  Our customers make it possible for us to support these organizations - for that, we thank you.

 

Autism Speaks.org

Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them has unique strengths, challenges, and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them. You and I can be too.

Until a few years ago, we really did not understand what Autism was. Sure, we had heard the term, but we didn't have a clear understanding of Autism and the effect it has on families. Then our grandson was diagnosed with autism. Of course, we immediately wanted to learn more. We found the answers to many of our questions from my grandson's awesome parents and Autism Speaks.org. Autism Speaks offers so many resources and support for individuals with Autism and their loved ones. Our grandson is truly a blessing to our family. He has opened our eyes to see so many things in a different way -  he is truly amazing!  

Many individuals and families rely on the work of Autism Speaks.org. Only through the dedicated support of people like you and me can Autism Speaks continue its vital mission work. Each year, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of individuals looking for advice or guidance, and more than one million people access their free nationwide autism services and resources. They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies. You can donate and find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at:  autismspeaks.org/our-work. 

Together, we can enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thanks so much for your support!

Planting Seeds of Change:  Trees For Education 

          

At Imani Christian Schools, we are helping to sow the seeds of a brighter future for education and sustainability in Embu, Kenya.

Artisan Java & Tea helps fund Trees For Education with a $0.50 seedling donation for each Specialty Coffee or Artisan Tea product sold on our e-commerce store.

This initiative is part of the UNASDG's comprehensive approach to funding education and tackling the Sustainable Development Goals.  Through programs like this, we're generating vital funding to support education and other essential areas outlined in the SDGs.

So how are we doing this?  By planting SEEDS to grow Trees.  Artisan Java & Tea has committed to donating a $0.50 seedling for every Specialty Coffee or Artisan Tea sold through our e-commerce store. The seedlings will be raised in the nursery, then an Imani student volunteer will plant them.  100% of that funding goes to the program, and that tree will directly offset the farm-to-cup footprint of 1 lb of coffee.  Then, after a year, that tree will be included in an international program that leverages the International Carbon Market through the UNASDG, which directly funds children's education at Imani.
