about us
The Mitten Foundation partners with different local non-profit organizations (or organizations in need) in an effort to raise both funds and awareness. With the help of its staff, customers, and community partners, The Mitten Brewing Company has raised more than $300,000 for local organizations since 2012.
The foundation's criteria for choosing non-profit partners is twofold: the organization must be local (or have a strong local impact), and they must be small enough that the donation will make a measurable difference. The foundation strives to connect each dollar donated to the effect it has.
The Mitten Brewing Company was humbled to receive the West Michigan Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professional’s 2015 “President’s Award” in recognition of its commitment to fundraising. The company plans to expand its community involvement efforts as it grows, and they recently started an employee volunteer program that provides staff with opportunities to become personally involved with non-profit partners.
“Make-A-Wish Michigan was honored to be part of the Mitten Brewing Company’s charitable giving program. We received great exposure and raised over $2,000 to help grant wishes for children in Michigan facing life threatening medical conditions. The Mitten staff did an excellent job getting involved in our mission and we can’t thank them enough.
