Overview

Mission

PROCAFE Corporation is a Puerto Rican non-profit organization committed to revitalizing the coffee industry through programs that enhance the economic, social, and environmental well-being of coffee farmers and their communities. Governed by an independent Board of Directors representing its membership base, the organization generates the majority of its revenue from public support and provides tailored services to hundreds of smallholder coffee farmer members.

What it reported doing in 2024

Café del Futuro (NCBA-CLUSA USDA Climate-Smart Commodities Program) Café del Futuro supports coffee farmers across Puerto Rico in adopting climate-smart agroforestry practices that improve productivity, soil health, and resilience to extreme weather. The program provides technical assistance, CPA-52 environmental evaluations, on-farm training, and monitoring of climate-smart practices such as tree establishment, shade management, organic inputs, and diversified cropping. Farmers receive coffee, shade, and timber trees; training from agronomists and agricultural technicians; and support with implementation plans and verification processes. The program also conducts data collection for greenhouse-gas reduction measurements and contributes to long-term reforestation and carbon-capture goals. Through Café del Futuro, PROCAFE advances sustainable coffee production, increases farm viability, and strengthens the economic stability of rural communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
