Palmers Brewery Community Fund

Palmers Brewery Community Fund is sponsored by Palmers Brewery. The Palmers Brewery Community Fund supports local community and charitable organisations in West Dorset or East Devon. It aims to help keep these areas great places to live, visit, and explore by providing funding for projects.

Palmers Brewery Community Fund | Palmers Brewery Palmers Brewery Community Fund The Palmers Community Fund has supported many local charities and not-for-profit organisations in the last few years. We are welcoming new applications through Crowdfunder now. 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. 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 will be able to apply via Crowdfunder for up to £2,000 to support their projects.

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.

” We at Palmers have a proud history of donating to important local causes, with over £100,000 donated over the last 20 years to local schools and sports clubs as well as cancer, mental health, arts and environmental charities. Long may this continue, with the assistance of the Crowdfunder platform to make funds readily available for causes important to our community.

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. *Applicants should be within postcodes DT1 to DT8 or EX13 Successful match funds so far...

Palmers ales are brewed in one of Britain’s oldest and prettiest breweries and have been since 1794. The only thatched brewery in the UK, Palmers sits adjacent to the river Brit just a mile from Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. All our fine ales are brewed using water from our own naturally rising spring.

Palmers historic brewhouse has a traditional Mash Tun, an open top Copper, along with top fermentation, this is the way ale should be brewed. Old Brewery, West Bay Road, Bridport, Dorset, DT6 4JA.
