Since opening in 2019, Delta Beer Lab has partnered with over 100 different Nonprofit Partners to stand with our pledge to be a part of & give back to our community. During that time, over $237,025.52 has been directly donated to these local organizations.
In the first 5 years, our team donated 100% of tips (donations) to our monthly Nonprofits and paid our beertenders more than the City of Madison’s Living Wage. Inflation has become a big barrier to our team, and they requested to receive the tips going forward. We heard the stories and opinions and shifted our model to raise wages by directing tips to our staff members. We also added various ways where our business could continue supporting the work of our Nonprofit Partners through give-back nights, in-kind donations, and support through 1% for the Planet.

Delta Beer Lab has always committed 1% of total revenue to environmental organizations focused on water quality resources and climate change issues. 1% for the Planet was established in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, and started a global movement in which we are proud to participate.
