Donation and Sponsorship Request Policy

​

There are so many great causes out there and because of that we unfortunately cannot take part in all of them. To assist us in making our choices, we ask that you read the below policy for  donation or sponsorship requests.

​

 - Requests must be received at least 4 weeks prior to the date of the event or date that the donation/sponsorship is needed, though we typically give preference to requests further out.  Consideration for all requests received will be given at the beginning of the following month.

 - Considerations:  Donations or sponsorships may be considered as long as budgeted funds are available.  All requestors are asked to elaborate on how the brewery will be listed, advertised, or mentioned on social media and frequency to help us prioritize said funds.
 

 - We do not openly offer cash donations or sponsorships: We largely only approve requests for in-kind donation or sponsorship. If your event requires an entrance or vendor fee or sponsorship dollars to be given up front, we will likely decline your request.

 - We only sponsor events that we are legally allowed to: For beer donations, you must have a Special Designated License(SDL) from the State. Events held in an already licensed premises such as a bar or restaurant must be open to the public and the beer must be furnished free of charge or without implied sale for us to donate. (In the case of the latter, we may still be able to participate in your event if our beer is purchased, but donation is prohibited.  Please contact distro@corncoastbrewing.com to purchase beer.)
 

 - All non-profit donations or sponsorships must be associated with a 501c3 non-profit organization, with the majority of proceeds directly benefiting that organization: We request a letter of determination proving 501c3 status as well as a signed letter from a chair of that organization or official receipt stating intent to donate.
 

 - Due to the high volume of requests from all, intramural or amateur sports teams or leagues of any kind, golf outings and tournaments, athletes, motorsports, and bands are prioritized toward the bottom of the list. We also do not participate in sponsorship for youth programs, schools, or youth sports teams.
 

 - We prefer brewery presence at any sponsored events and generally avoid sponsorships that are simply logo placements. We like to participate in our philanthropic efforts, not just sit by the sidelines.

 Thank you for considering us to be a sponsor or to donate to your event and adherence to the above policy.  For donations and sponsorships, you can reach out to us at info@corncoastbrewing.com. Please put in the subject line:
