Fair State Cooperates
Community is at the heart of what we do.
In 2016, we launched Fair State Cooperates, our community engagement initiative. Every year, our member-owners select local nonprofit organizations whose work aligns with our values—focusing on democracy, justice, community outreach, and community health. Through this program, we raise funds, create awareness, and organize volunteer opportunities for our nonprofit partners.
As a cooperative brewery, the direction of our charitable giving is determined by our member-owners through our Cooperates partnerships. Fair State donates a limited amount of goods to organizations outside of this program.
In order to maximize the impact of our charitable giving outside of Cooperates, Fair State prioritizes donations to registered 501c3 nonprofit organizations whose work is in the areas of democracy, justice, community health, and combating climate change.
The organization must provide a liquor license (and proper permitting where applicable) in order to receive any beer donation.
Donation pickup times are during regular taproom hours and must be scheduled at least one week in advance.
