How You Can Help
SUPPORT THE CHOCOLÁ ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT (PACH)
Support community archaeology
and sustainablilty by your contributions. The Project is a 501c3 non-profit
organization, and any donation is 100% tax-deductible.
Contributions
are used to finance the annual field season in Chocolá, Guatemala;
purchase of equipment and supplies; the year-round protection of
the ancient site; storage and restoration of artifacts such as whole
pots and carved stone monuments; and other expenses critical to
the advancement of PACH's research into this seminal ancient Maya
occupation. In addition, donations support a variety of sustainable
community developments initiatives, both touristic and agricultural.
You can specify how you wish your donations to be spent, for example,
for the creation of a museum housing ancient artifacts and information
and the ancient Maya and Chocolá’s place in the trajectory
of Maya civilization, as we are coming to understand it; or for
the reintroduction of cacao farming at Chocolá – anciently
in the ancient Maya chocolate heartland (indeed, Chocolá
may have been a “kingdom of chocolate,” that became
large and culturally important very early because of its cacao).
And there are many options for making these kinds of dedicated contributions.
Please
contribute any amount by clicking on the button below and using
your PayPal account. We are only able to receive online donations
