Chocolat-e With A Cause

01/12/2024

Ukandu has been fortunate over the years to develop strong relationships with a number of incredible community organizations. 2023 saw the formation of a new, meaningful, partnership with local brand ‘Chocolat-e.’ After being a dessert partner at the 2023 Wine & Dine, the team at Chocolat-e knew they wanted to stay connected to Ukandu. Just a few short months later, they attended Ukandu’s Golf Tournament offering a delicious chocolate sorbet for golfers to try during the round.

Shortly after, the Chocolat-e team decided they wanted to find a way to be involved, year-round, with Ukandu. Through their ‘Chocolat-e with a Purpose’ initiative, their team generously decided to donate 10% of profits back to Ukandu from November 2023 through December 2024. We are so thankful for Chocolat-e’s commitment to families impacted by childhood cancer. Great chocolate and even better people - what more could you ask for!?

What we saw was amazing: a fantastic organization and an efficient, caring team. We were not treated as vendors but as partners. The way they treated their guests was also very revealing: guests, not donors. Then we were invited to the Ukandu Golf Tournament. After a full day around all the volunteers, we were going to partner with these people for all the good they were providing to the kids. Good people, good intentions, good organization.

We’re still a startup and we provide gourmet chocolate. We have the Benefit Corporation for Good certification, it’s more than a label, it’s a mindset. So helping a non-profit to try to make a difference? Sure! Ukandu does more than support their cause, Ukandu generates a rare human positive energy. They make us feel good, and useful. Ukandu is one big family and we love being part of it.”
