Support StoveTeam’s mission to assist local entrepreneurs in Central America to produce and distribute clean-burning cookstoves!
Donate to StoveTeam
Each cookstove impacts an average family of nearly 8 people, reduces carbon emissions, and creates jobs where they’re needed most. You can also give in someone’s honor and we will send them a Thank You card!
Emberships
A recurring donation of just $26 per month can make safe cooking possible for one person each month! Your Embership also gives you access to special benefits, like the inside scoop on StoveTeam updates and projects.
“StoveTeam’s innovative model of funding factories that make stoves instead of giving stoves themselves increases their impact and enables them to do more work in the community and benefit local communities. I’ve been impressed by the amount of impact StoveTeam has made by empowering local entrepreneurs!”
The Fire
The Fire is StoveTeam’s premier donor circle, a powerful community of supporters who believe in the transformative power of clean cookstoves. Members of The Fire enjoy special benefits like invitations to exclusive events, early notice of travel opportunities, and more!

Help start a project
StoveTeam is always excited to partner with Rotary Clubs, non-profits, foundations, and local communities to start a new clean cooking project in Central America. To begin the process, we’ll ask you to help secure some of the startup funding and demonstrate that the region where the project will be located has sufficient demand for stoves.

Give tribute to someone you love, or celebrate the joyous events in life with a gift that improves lives. We will send you a receipt for your contribution and a beautiful card to the recipient to acknowledge your thoughtful gift.
Make your tribute gift online (write their name and contact info in the Notes field), mail a check to PO Box 14707, Portland, OR 97293, or call us at (541) 554-4638.
Workplace giving
Many employers match their employees’ donations to nonprofit organizations or have programs to allow pre-tax contributions to charities. You can also select StoveTeam International to receive contributions through payroll deduction for United Way campaigns.
Please ask your employer whether they would be willing to participate!
Legacy Giving
There are several ways you support StoveTeam through gift planning or legacy giving, including Charitable IRA Rollovers, Retirement Account Beneficiary Designations and bequests.
Did you know? If you are 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $100,000 to charity tax-free
each year, even if that's more than your Required Minimum Distribution.
Carbon offset
Cookstoves are one of the best ways to offset your carbon footprint.
Each $200 Justa cookstove saves up to 15 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, equivalent to the average American’s yearly carbon footprint!
If you are interested in offsetting your personal or business emissions please contact info@stoveteam.org to receive information concerning our system of carbon offsetting to assure no double counting of carbon offsets.
