The fund
The Circular Coffee Fund is a non profit fund, aimed at being 100% transparent and realizing impact in a collaborative, respectful way based on the egality of all actors.
The fund is a collaboration between the non governmental organization Progreso and the social enterprises This Side Up and the Circular Coffee Collective. With more than 18 years of experience, Progreso has assisted more than 300.000 farmers from over 100 producer organizations on the topics of crop yields, forest conservation and soil health improvements. As a coffee importer, This Side Up strives to change the way coffee is traded and focuses on full transparency, equal partnerships and broad sustainability within its 11 producing countries. The Circular Coffee Collective helps organizations with the transition towards the circular economy, starting with their cup of coffee. Having such mutual interests, it only felt natural to join forces in the Circular Coffee Fund.
