Donation Request Policy
Seattle Chocolate Company is dedicated to community – both inside our walls and beyond. We favor Pacific Northwest based organizations that advocate on behalf of women, children and cancer research. Here are some of the organizations we’ve supported to date since 1996:
- Fred Hutchinson Cancer Treatment Center
- Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center
- Gilda’s Club (www.gildasclub.com)
- Athena Partners (www.athenapartners.org)
We welcome chocolate donation requests that contribute to such worthy causes from organizations with non-profit status. Because our chocolates are so beloved by women and the people who love them across the USA, we receive far more donation requests than we can possibly accommodate.
To earn our consideration for your donation request in the context of our annual donation budget, please send your requests in writing at least eight weeks prior to your scheduled event to this address and please limit your requests to one donation per calendar year:
