A night of good beer that writes a check

Kegs for a Cause is a keg-based fundraising model: your brewery donates a keg (or two), we run the night, and 100% of the on-night margin goes to a named local nonprofit — with public accounting.

The ask

What we need from the brewery

One evening

A 3–4 hr window in your taproom, weeknight or Sunday. We pick a slow window on purpose.

One or two kegs

Donated at cost or fully donated — your call. This is the largest line item on the night.

Your team on bar

Your normal staffing. We don't touch your POS or your license.

What K4C handles

Everything else

Nonprofit + story

We match the night to a rotating beneficiary (coastal / community focus), handle their comms, and bring the story to your room.

Promo + audience

Cross-promo across our list, the nonprofit's list, and local partners. Goal: fill a slow night with new faces.

On-night ops

Sign-in, tip-jar staffing for the nonprofit, photo/video capture, and the night's tally.

Reporting

Public per-event donation report — raised, costs, donated, to whom — published within 14 days.

Sample night

Run of show (3-hr window)

T-30 · K4C team arrives, sets sign-in table, briefs bar staff, meets nonprofit rep.

T-0 · Doors. Nonprofit intro at bar (~2 min) at the top of the hour.

T+60 · Feature pour + short program moment — beneficiary shares one story, one number, one ask.

T+150 · Wrap. Tally the night on-camera with brewery + nonprofit present.

T+14d · Public report published. Nonprofit thanked, brewery credited, check delivered.

The through-line

Why the model works

Most brewery fundraisers fail on accountability — nobody publishes what was raised, what was donated, or what was left over. K4C fixes that. Every night is public: numbers, dates, beneficiary. That's the model.
