Coffee Maker Offers $800,000 in Climate Change Grants

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is encouraging organizations to apply for grants to help respond to climate change.

Green Mountain Coffee will award four $200,000 grants, each payable over five years.

The grants will be part of Green Mountain Coffee’s campaign, “Changing Climate Change,” which includes operational changes, employee incentives to reduce carbon emissions and buying carbon offsets.

Green Mountain Coffee is seeking applicants in four areas:

• threats to coffee-growing communities
• transportation-related emissions
• building political will
• empowering individual action
