Sustaining Donors
Ongoing funding for greater impactWe truly appreciate the incredible generosity from participants in our Sustaining Donor Programs! Sustaining Donors are supporters who make a multi-year commitment to underwrite our work.
We rely on these ongoing commitments to plan ahead and expand our programs, knowing that we have reliable funding for our activities. Both Anchor and Patron Sustainers are valued partners in our initiative to end cervical cancer once and for all.
Sustaining Anchor Donors contribute $25,000+ annually over multiple consecutive years.

Dean’s Beans Organic Coffee, founded by Dean Cycon, is based on ethical business practices that will have a meaningful impact on the lives of the farmers. Thus we weren’t surprised when Dean came to us with the offer to become a Sustaining Donor for our work in Ethiopia. Dean’s contributions over the years have brought us to the place we are now – introducing HPV self-sampling in Sidama, Ethiopia.
La Colombe, specialty coffee roaster and retailer, became a Sustaining Donor last year as part of Todd and J.P. ‘s simple but ambitious mission: to make the world better through coffee. Not only did La Colombe offer a generous donation but they specified that they’d like it to be a recurring annual donation – the kind of gift that allows us to most efficiently plan our activities.
