Donations

*****

Thank you so much for taking the time to look into our donations program. We are on a temporary hold, as our San Francisco retail stores and factories are currently closed. Please check this page for updates; we hope to reevaluate our programming by the end of Spring, 2020. Thank you once again for your interest,

— Andrew and the Donations Team

We strive to be active participants in our community locally and globally. As such, we support organizations working to build a stronger community in San Francisco and on cacao farms across the globe.

WHAT TO KNOW:

  • We donate to non-profit organizations (501c3) in San Francisco working on initiatives that directly support or benefit San Franciscans.
  • We will also make contributions to non-profit organizations focused on improving cacao farms and growing techniques, and championing fine-flavored cacao across the globe.
  • In-kind donations we are able to contribute include a Wrapped Three-Bar Gift Set; two hot chocolate gift cards with a Wrapped Three-Bar Gift Set; our single-origin chocolate bars (maximum of 20), or a Chocolate Tasting Station (recommended for events of 20 guests or more).
  • All donation requests must be made at least 4 weeks in advance of the date the donation is needed.
  • If your donation is approved, you will have seven business days to collect it in person from our 740 Valencia Street café in San Francisco. After seven days, or if you are not in SF, you will need to arrange for pickup by contacting donations@dandelionchocolate.com. It is your responsibility to follow-up and collect your donation.
