Since 2007, Mink has worked with a wide variety of charitable organizations to help sponsor their fundraising initiatives which in turn help foster or perpetuate our corporate ideals.
We receive hundreds of requests for community support from a wide range of organizations each year. In order for us to support as many deserving community groups as possible and to better understand our community's needs, we ask that you complete our application process. Please scan and email your completed application and cover letter to info@minkchocolates.com
