Everybody at Maine Beer Company is welcome (and encouraged) to nominate a nonprofit that is meaningful to them.

Each month a rotating panel of employee volunteers reads, researches, discusses, and, ultimately, votes on submissions from the previous month.

After voting is complete we send a donation to the selected nonprofit.

Galápagos Conservancy 

"Since our founding in 1985, Galápagos Conservancy has been the only U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated exclusively to the long-term protection and restoration of the Galápagos Islands and its brilliant mosaic of life, including more than 2,000 species found nowhere else on Earth. As a leader in direct on-the-ground conservation action, we work with partners, including the Galápagos National Park Directorate, to save imperiled species, build a more sustainable society, and rewild the complex ecosystems of the Archipelago. Collectively, our members represent the largest source of private funding for conservation in the Islands."

"I visited the islands in 2018 and have been donating... regularly since then. The islands changed my life and how I think about the planet. For me it has made me care more about the animals and environment and less about myself. Please help the animals- they didn't need us, but now that we are here they do."
