General Donation

Your gift of any amount  supports the research, mapping, genetic identification, and flavor analysis of fine flavor cacao species from around the world. A ‘feel good’ & ‘real good’ gesture.

​Who doesn’t want to give to that? ​

The HCP is a 501c3 non-profit organization. You will receive a tax receipt for your donation.

Meet our Donors

​Our donors are the reason we have been able to designate our heirloom farms – especially those who wouldn’t be able to apply without our funding. We are grateful for your contribution to identifying and preserving the most extraordinary tasting cacao. Thank you!

The Lesley Family Foundation has been a major pillar of the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund since 2019 through a series of grants that supports our field research, expeditions, technical resource development for farmers and administrative costs. 

Matt & Yelena Caputo
Since 2013, Tony Caputo’s Market & Deli has been generously donating the proceeds from their annual Chocolate Festival.

Grocer's Daughter Chocolate has been a dedicated yearly supporter of the HCP since 2020.

Maya Schoop-Rutten is a long standing and beloved supporter of HCP. She has been sending a yearly donation since 2014.

Founding Circle

And a thank you to the members of our Founding Circle. Twenty-five chocolate companies and industry stakeholders - of which the vast majority were artisan and small independents - stepped up to provide funding for the official launch the HCP in June 2012.
