We have partnered with Crowdfunder to relaunch the Palmers Brewery Community Fund and donated £10,000 to mark both this occasion, and the Brewery’s 230 year anniversary.

Explaining the relaunch, Emily Palmer Ramus said, “We hope that by partnering with Crowdfunder the Community Fund will be more accessible than ever and that everyone locally can have their say in the causes that are important to them. We are donating 10p a pint from seasonal ales and proceeds from events such as our 230 year anniversary Beer Festival in September so the initial £10,000 donation will be topped up with the support of our customers.”

To apply, organisations based in West Dorset or East Devon should create a Crowdfunder page and, if the project meets the eligibility criteria, they will be automatically notified of the Palmers Brewery Community Fund. If the application is approved, Palmers will match up to 50% towards their initial target amount, up to the value of £2,000. Funds will only be released if the project achieves its fundraising target and therefore projects will need clear support from the public to be successful. Once the Fund has been allocated, no further applications will be accepted.
