In 2024, we 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. Since then we have supported the fund by raising money at events such as our annual Beer Festivals and our upcoming 5 Peaks Challenge.

Explaining the relaunch, Emily Palmer Ramus said:

“We are so pleased that since partnering with Crowdfunder, the Community Fund has been more accessible than ever and we hope many local people have benefitted from the support given to local not-for-profits. We will continue donating 10p a pint from seasonal ales and proceeds from events, as well as money raised from our 5 Peaks Challenge.”

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, therefore projects will need clear support from the public to be successful. Once the Fund has been allocated, no further applications will be accepted.
