Brewing with Purpose
At Lawson’s Finest Liquids, we celebrate GivingTuesday, a day dedicated to radical generosity, by donating $100,000 across 69 nonprofit organizations selected by our employee-led committee. Marking this year as our most impactful GivingTuesday yet, the 2025 donation will support a range of causes across Vermont, with amounts of up to $10,000 going to organizations focusing on food and economic security, healthy communities, natural resource protection, and sustainable recreation.
The milestone donation is made possible by our Social Impact Program (The SIP), which encompasses five major initiatives: Sip of Support, our program that funds its GivingTuesday donations; Good Brews for a Cause; Great Place to Work; Sunshine Fund; and Green is Grand. Together, they work towards the goal of building impactful connections, strengthening communities, and stewarding the environment.
