Donate To Make A Difference
The coffee shop revenue helps tremendously in carrying out our mission, but charitable donations fund over half of our annual operating budget for the program, youth, and staff.
Monthly donations are the best and most sustainable way to support our youth as they grow and take on more responsibility in their lives. Please click the "Monthly" option on the donation form to the left.
All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
Other Ways to Give
Employer Match
Many employers encourage donations to non-profits like The Monkey & The Elephant. To find out if yours is one of them, contact your local HR or Benefits Representative and ask them if they can help you double your impact to our youth!
Gift Cards
Donate a $25 gift card(s)* for us to reward our youth employees who go above and beyond in the workplace and are working hard everyday to live independently and reach their goals.**
*Visa/Amex, Target or Walmart gift cards work best for our youth employees
**Please drop off gift cards at the café or mail them to 1218 S. Alder St, Philadelphia, PA 19147.
![Did you know that #TeddyRoosevelt, the 26th president of the #UnitedStates, drank so much #coffee that his son was quoted as saying ‘[My father’s #mug is] more in the nature of a bathtub?’ and historians believe Roosevelt drank close to a gallon of coffee a day? This #PresidentsDay, pay tribute to former leaders by drinking lots of coffee (but maybe not a gallon of it!). #ourcoffeeispowerful #formerfosteryouth #philadelphia #brewerytownisbooming #mandecafe](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57c2f6f5ebbd1ac6f256d080/5922e972a5790a9f6541d150/5c6aea217de07584741fdb67/1550510629998/)
