Our trading partners originate and lead every project and initiative themselves. Members and Sustainers cover our overhead — which is exactly why 100% of every project contribution reaches the cooperative.
Member dues and Sustainer gifts cover TPRN’s operating costs. Where payment processing or wire fees apply, we ask Contributors to cover them at checkout — and where they aren’t covered, Sustainer funds absorb them. The cooperative receives the full project amount, every time.
None of these works alone. Each one is what makes the next one possible.
Coffee roasters, cooperatives, and wholesale organizations pay annual dues that fund TPRN’s operations — so no overhead is ever deducted from a project contribution.
Recurring gifts cover whatever dues don’t, and absorb uncovered transaction fees. This is what makes the 100% commitment a mechanism rather than a slogan.
Every project and initiative is proposed, approved, and led by the cooperative itself. Progress reports come directly from them — first dollar to final report.
