“At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what you've done with those accomplishments. Its about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It about what you've given back"

- Denzel Washington

When you purchase a Xoan Candle you will be asked to select a charity of your choice. We have a list of charities to chose from or you can select "personal request" and tell us about a charity you love.

We aim to select charities with high program expense percentages (percent of the charity's total expenses spent on the programs and services it delivers). After all, we want to put our donations where they are going to have the greatest impact.

See below for our list of our current selected charities:
