Big Grove Brewery

The Big Grove for Good Foundation is the community impact initiative of Big Grove Brewery, working with nonprofits, local organizations, and grassroots groups across the Midwest. It aims to help build stronger communities through environmental sustainability, social equity, and community development, guided by collaboration, creativity, and empathy.

The foundation focuses its charitable efforts on protecting trees, trails, and water; advancing equity and inclusion; and supporting organizations in Big Grove’s local communities. Its programs include annual grants for nonprofits and neighborhood micro-grants funded through sales of Neighborhood Beer. It also accepts requests for in-kind donations and sponsorships, and supports causes through events and purpose-driven beers.

Featured beers include Neighborhood Beer lager, Rainbow Connection fruited sour, Good Grove fruited lager, and Wade Wisely oatmeal stout. Grant partners have included organizations working in areas such as book access, education, food equity, environmental stewardship, housing, and support for refugees, older adults, and young people. Through these partnerships and initiatives, the foundation seeks to create meaningful, lasting impact across the communities it serves.
