Business model, charitable partners
Each Coffeed location donates a portion of its revenue (usually 3-10%) to a charitable partner based in the same neighborhood as the store.[2] Current partners include The New York Foundling, New York Restoration Project (NYRP), City Growers, and Community Mainstreaming Associates.[2] Coffeed has donated nearly $250,000 to charity.[2]
