Change lives and reduce poverty.

Teach North Americans, especially students, how to become social investors who can make a difference.
The Coffee Can Group takes its name from the historical practice of families and friends who kept their savings in a coffee can. When they had enough, they used the funds to launch new businesses.
Why is Coffee Can Group Unique?
Through our deep personal connections with Hondurans, your funds are targeted to empower individuals and communities through enterprise.
What Does Your Investment Do?
Through your tax-deductible donation, your funds provide private capital for grants and loans for Hondurans to start businesses. Recipients also can access business skills support through community investment groups of local mentors and coaches.
Where Does Repayment Money Go?
Once loan recipients repay their loans to the shared equity fund, a local community investment group will underwrite new projects that meet The Coffee Can Group funding criteria. Thus, your initial investments continue building enterprise and hope as loans are being repaid and re-invested.
How Does The Coffee Can Group Model Expand?
When a target community reaches sustainable levels of revolving funds, we identify new communities for investments.
How Can I Track My Contributions?
You can track your investment status and performance through links to each project's information page that provides an approved description of the project and its business plan, a monthly update of any changes in the project, and pictures and videos of the project at work.
How Do I know These Funds Are Safely Invested?
We work only with trusted program participants developed through years of on-the-ground presence. Business plans are reviewed and repayment of loans are monitored and you can track online the repayment of your investment as well as receive a semi-annual program update. Once your initial investment has been repaid, your funds are then reinvested in the next cycle of projects.
