Our Community

When the business of business becomes just that, we miss the bigger picture.

The Continuum Way

At Continuum, we believe that with opportunity comes responsibility, both to our team and to the communities in which we live. We believe it’s a business imperative to give back with time and resources. That’s why every month we spotlight a local company committed to giving back to their community: whether in their hiring processes, product, or as a portion of proceeds. We thank our advertising partners from each month with a curated gift from one of these spotlighted companies and help get the word out on the good they do for their communities.

This Month's Gift

In 1995, Helen Russell and Brooke McDonnell, partners in life and business— set out to do something bold: build a coffee company rooted in quality, sustainability, and social responsibility. Equator helped pioneer the direct trade model, becoming an early adopter of Fair Trade certification in 1999. Each bag of the Atelier Crenn Fair Trade Organic Blend benefits Lyric, a San Francisco-based organization that builds community and inspire positive social change with LGBTQ+ youth. This gift was chosen in honor of Pride Month.

Volunteering

We encourage our employees to volunteer in their local communities by giving them a PTO allowance to use at an organization of their choice. Our employees have volunteered at trash pickups at the South Platte River with Denver Parks and Recreation, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Pencils for Kids, Flags for Fallen Vets, and many others.

Staying Driven

It's easy in advertising to get caught up in industry navel-gazing and self-absorption. If nothing else, looking outward at the companies doing good works in our communities helps us keep perspective on the bigger picture.
