Dean Cycon

Dean Cycon started his fair trade company, Dean's Beans Organic Coffee, 18 years ago with a simple idea: That business could be a vehicle for progressive, social change through advocacy, activism, and innovative development throughout the coffee lands. It was a radical idea and it worked. Link TV had a radical idea, too: Give people truth-telling programs that tell the stories and news you need to transform your world. For more than a decade Link TV has been doing that for Dean, and that's why Dean's Beans is making a $25,000 challenge grant so that you can double your impact when you make a gift to Link TV today.
