Since its inception, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery’s philanthropic Beer & Benevolence program has focused on giving back to the coastal Delaware community through creative collaborations with nonprofit organizations.
With its B&B program, Dogfish Head endeavors to foster community, nourish artistic advancement and cultivate environmental stewardship, and it partners with local nonprofits that share those same ideals. In 2020, the B&B program supported more than 70 nonprofits with monetary and product donations, contributing over $350,000 to the coastal Delaware community it calls home.
“Each year, we work to support our community in every way we can – through events benefitting local charities, like our Dogfish Dash that benefits The Nature Conservancy’s Delaware chapter; our ‘tour team tips,’ through which our tour and tasting room team graciously donates all its tips to local nonprofits; Benevolence Day, a day when we close our coastal Delaware properties and all co-workers engage in local volunteer opportunities; and community pledges, like our $50K pledge to the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal Improvement Association’s Grove Park Dock project,” said Mariah Calagione, Dogfish Head co-founder and communitarian. “Obviously, 2020 was an unprecedented year, but I’m beyond proud of what our B&B program was able to accomplish, despite a global pandemic, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
