Why Donate?
More than 830 million people worldwide live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $3 a day. Rising costs, climate change, and shifting global markets are putting even greater pressure on the people who grow our food, harvest our seafood, and sew our clothes.
For over 25 years, Fair Trade USA has walked alongside producers, providing the training, tools, and partnerships they need to build stronger livelihoods, safer working conditions, and more resilient communities.
Lasting change happens when those closest to the challenge lead the solution, and your support makes that possible.
La diferencia del comercio justo
For every Fair Trade Certified™ product sold, businesses pay a Fair Trade Premium that is directed back to farmers, fishers, and workers at origin. Together, they democratically decide how to invest the Community Development Funds to meet their greatest needs. To date, the Fair Trade Certified program has delivered over $1.3 billion in financial benefit to people across more than 50 countries.
This market-based model creates opportunity and agency. But the need—and the potential—go far beyond that.
Your donation fuels the next chapter: expanding producer training, investing in innovation within the movement, and helping more communities thrive. Your gift supports:
Educación
Funding schools, scholarships, and training programs that open doors to brighter futures for families and communities.
