At Treehouse, we actively work to create new & grow current partnerships with folks making positive change in our community.
Below you will see our past & present partners & find more information about the good work they’re doing in our County & beyond!
Last Prisoner Project
We have been collaborating with LPP since July of 2020 and officially part of their Roll it Up for Justice program since November 2020.
“The Last Prisoner Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to cannabis criminal justice reform. As the United States moves away from the criminalization of cannabis, giving rise to a major new industry, there remains the fundamental injustice inflicted upon those who have suffered criminal convictions and the consequences of those convictions.
Through legal intervention, public education and legislative advocacy, we work to redress the past and continuing harms of our country’s unjust and ineffective approach to drug policy.”
Folks that shop at Treehouse are able to add $1 or $4.20 donations to their order, both on Dutchie (our online ordering platform) and with a budtender in the shop.
We also ask our customers if they would like to round up their coin change for LPP on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays.
These initiatives have allowed us to donate over $8,000 to LPP so far! (as of 8.13.21)
We encourage you to join their budtender program if you would like, it comes with swag :)
Floret Coalition
We joined the Floret Coalition at their inception in September of 2020.
“The Floret Coalition is an anti-racist collective of small businesses in the cannabis and cannabis-adjacent space supporting and funding equity-oriented actions via monthly donations and social campaigns. Together, we will raise funds and awareness for organizations prioritizing the needs of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities.”
These efforts are guided by a three-person board. Meet their board here.
See Floret’s 2020-2021 Annual Report here.

Local Partnerships
We are a donation and organizational site for School Supply and Holiday collection drives organized by local organizations Fuerza Latinx & Blended Bridge.
These drives typically happen August through December. Treehouse will donate in-kind items and promote drives on social media each time!
Sowing Seeds for Community
We have been enacting bi-monthly partnerships with hyperlocal organizations since December of 2020.
We raise funds through asking customers to round up their coin change on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for these organizations. We also have a $1 donation SKU available for folks who shop on our online menu, so they can learn more about the organization and easily donate if they choose. We are able to raise an average of $1,200 for each organization over the course of the 2 months.
We also promote them and their mission on our website and social media, and participate in Instagram Lives with them, in-kind donation drives, and help them in any other way that is beneficial to their particular organization. We hope to expand this program in the near future to involve our cannabis brand partners, in hopes to make an even greater impact.
