After the Tsunami hit Japan in 2011 Japan was devastated and needed much help in its recovery. There were many different organizations that were willing to come to Japan's aide. Japan did make a remarkable recovery thanks to many of these different organizations.
There was one organization that did a good job and stood out to me. This organization not only helped Japan with relief funds, but did it in a fair trade manner. The name of the organization is Grounds for Change. Grounds for Change had a coffee ground blend that would donate $2 for every bag sold to a Japanese relief fund.
Grounds for Change is fair trade certified. They are also organic and carbon free certified. The deal that they had set up was $10 for the bag and two of those dollars goes to relief funds for Japan.
Grounds for Change does a number of other donations for other countries and organizations as well. They donate 1% of all of their annual sales to social and environmental organizations. They are a green company that does still have blends that donate $1 to the Congo or to Bolivia.
