A year since the relaunch
A year ago in May, we relaunched the Palmers Brewery Community Fund. Partnering with Crowdfunder, we aim to support local not-for-profit community organisations.
Our Community Fund works to support the local community and charitable organisations that help keep West Dorset one of the best places to live, visit and explore. Not-for-profit organisations local to Palmers can apply via Crowdfunder for up to £2,000 to support their projects.
The Palmers Community Fund has supported nine Crowdfunder projects in its first year, match funding over £15k of public pledges. In total, these projects have raised over £100k for local community initiatives and charities.
CEO, Emily Palmer Ramus, said
“Over £15,000 has been donated this year to local good causes through the Palmers Brewery Community Fund. We were able to add to the initial £10,000 donation with the help of the Palmers team at events like our Beer Festival and Annual Wine Tasting as well as from customers through our 10p a pint donation on seasonal ales and the Biles Project postcards. Crowdfunder have been brilliant at helping us support a wide variety of local causes. Match funding means that the impact from each £2,000 donation is amazing.”
