Business model, charitable partners
Each Coffeed location donated a portion of its revenue (usually 3-10%) to a charitable partner based in the same neighborhood as the store.[2] Former partners included The New York Foundling, New York Restoration Project (NYRP), City Growers, and Community Mainstreaming Associates.[2] As of 2016, Coffeed had donated nearly $250,000 to charity.[2]
