Description
1) Objective
As a pioneer and a chocolate expert, Valrhona has been committed to local and international philanthropic actions since 2006. Since 2019, it is through its Valrhona Foundation that all stakeholders act together: employees, customers, partners, etc. Since 2019, the Valrhona Foundation has supported more than 21 projects in 7 countries. These actions represent over 1.3 million euros of support, impacting around 27,000 beneficiaries.
Because giving young people a taste of the future is their cause, they want to open the minds of the next generation to the possibilities of tomorrow. What if cocoa were a vehicle for commitment and opportunity? The call for projects is structured around two approaches:
- Passion: support new or inter-generational initiatives in the Equatorial Belt to promote local gastronomy and culture through the cocoa industry.
- Planet: accelerate the agro-ecological transition to preserve our planet and empower young producers and engineers towards sustainable cocoa farming.

Eligibility is limited to: (1) Your organization must be a non-profit organization; (2) Your organization must be eligible for patronage in France or based in one of the member states of Transnational Giving Europe; (3) Your project must fall within one of the two approaches (Passion or Planet); (4) Your project must be carried out in a cocoa-producing Equatorial Belt country.
