What is FairCrack?
CoffeeSnobs FairCrack is an exciting initiative that kicked-off in May 2007
to address the holes that we could see in supporting existing coffee causes
and we honestly think that as a small community of passionate coffee
consumers we can do it far better.
The biggest issue with any type of charity event is the amount of money
raised that is required to manage and distribute the funds. With FairCrack
we have a goal of zero administrative overheads and will do our best to
ensure that 100% of the money raised or materials purchased ends up on the
ground at coffee origin.
The above figures show the total money donated to date by CoffeeSnob
members, the total amount spent to date and the outstanding balance in the
pot for future allocation. Above the site wide totals you will find
your own running total (if any money has been raised from your purchases)
which you can proudly watch grow over time. Below
you will find a brief description of the causes that CoffeeSnobs chose to
support and the amount that was spent. We hope this "open book" style
accounting will leave little doubt that the money raised is being spent
wisely on sound projects.
| Date | Donation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| May 2009 | Following on from the initial success of the first project on the southern Kilimanjaro slopes we have replicated the project so that two new mountain villages will benefit from the installation of two new central pulperies. | $4,759.20 |
| September 2008 | Purchase two coffee pulpers for communal use by the small holder farmers on the southern slopes of Kilimanjaro. We hope this will improve their coffee quality and their market price for many years to come. | $3,236.67 |
| May 2007 | The birth of FairCrack happened in the following thread. In future we will show the chosen projects below. |
