Giving Back

At Espresso Thyme, care is woven into everything—from how coffee is grown, to how it’s brewed, to the places that inspire us along the way. This page exists to make giving back simple, transparent, and meaningful.

In addition to inviting direct support for trusted conservation and coffee sustainability organizations, we commit 20% of net profits from our National Park Blend pound coffee to the National Park Foundation. It’s our way of honoring the landscapes we love and supporting the people and systems that protect them. Our mission is to eventually commit a percentage of our net profit to the organizations we love and support.

Rather than collecting donations ourselves, we connect you directly to organizations doing long-term, hands-on work—preserving wild spaces, promoting sustainable coffee practices, and investing in a future rooted in care and stewardship.

Where Your Support Goes

Each organization plays a unique role—from protecting wild spaces to sustaining coffee farms and uplifting the people behind the cup. However you choose to give, your contribution supports work that values care, longevity, and connection. Even learning about the organizations can make an impact.

Good espresso takes time.
So does protecting the land, the craft, and the people behind it.

Thank you for choosing to give thoughtfully—and for helping preserve what matters, one intentional step at a time.

National Park Foundation

The NPF is the official nonprofit partner of the U.S. National Park Service. Their work supports conservation projects, park infrastructure, education, and access—helping ensure national parks remain protected and welcoming for generations to come.

Rainforest Alliance works to protect forests, biodiversity, and the communities that depend on them through sustainable agriculture and certification programs. Their coffee-focused initiatives promote environmental responsibility while supporting producers and ecosystems.

Rainforest Alliance

The International Women’s Coffee Alliance empowers women across the global coffee supply chain through leadership, education, and economic opportunity—strengthening families, farms, and communities.

The Nature Conservancy works globally to protect land and water through science-based conservation. Their efforts safeguard ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural systems—many of which exist far beyond park boundaries but are essential to their survival.

The Nature Conservancy

Spotlight- The Nature Conservancy

The Nature Conservancy is one of the most effective and efficient environmental organizations in the world.

Building on nearly six decades of experience, they’ve protected more than 119 million acres of land and 5,000 river miles—and operate more than 100 marine conservation projects globally.

They can accomplish so much because they make careful use of their resources, maximizing the funding allocated to their science-driven program work.

Looking forward, The Nature Conservancy is focused on scaling solutions that address climate change while protecting nature at its roots. Their future goals include conserving more land and water, restoring degraded ecosystems, and advancing climate-smart strategies that balance human needs with environmental stewardship. By investing in long-term, collaborative conservation efforts, they aim to create a future where both people and nature can flourish—together.

Espresso Thyme note: Nature is closer than you think. With more than 800 nature preserves across all types of landscapes, open to visitation across the United States, there’s a preserve near you waiting to be explored.
