Since launching our Philanthropy Barrel Program in late 2018, Bluegrass Distillers has proudly raised over $100,000 for local nonprofits. Through this initiative, we’ve partnered with organizations across Kentucky to make a meaningful impact in our community. In addition to the funds raised through this program, we’ve contributed over $70,000 to other philanthropic efforts, including our annual 5K run/walk held at Elkwood Farm each spring.
We’ve supported incredible organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Lexington Humane Society, Bluegrass Land Conservancy, Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund, the Epilepsy Foundation, and more!
Key Details of the Program:
- We work exclusively with nonprofits located within Kentucky.
- The program is limited to 12 nonprofits per year to ensure we maximize impact.
- Each month, we select one nonprofit to partner with and donate $15 for every bottle sold from a dedicated single barrel at our Elkwood Farm location.
- Bottles are only available at our gift shops during the nonprofit’s designated month.
- There is no cost to the charity for participating in this program.
