About the Funder

BREW is an independent coffee business located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. In addition to serving coffee and creating a community gathering place, BREW partners with local organizations, schools, and events to support meaningful work in the surrounding area.

Because BREW is a single-location small business and receives a high volume of requests, it cannot support every eligible organization. Its donation program is designed to direct available resources toward organizations and causes with a strong connection to the local community.

What This Program Supports

BREW considers donation requests connected to:

Local Nonprofit and Community Organizations

Organizations working to improve quality of life and address meaningful needs in New Smyrna Beach and nearby communities may submit requests.

Schools and Educational Initiatives

Local schools, educators, and education-related programs may be considered when the request benefits students or supports the surrounding community.

Community Events

BREW may provide support for local events that bring residents together, benefit a community cause, or create a positive impact in the New Smyrna Beach area.

Community Development

Priority may be given to initiatives that strengthen community connections, expand local opportunities, or address an identified community need.

Meaningful Local Causes

BREW considers causes that align with its values and demonstrate a clear benefit for local residents.

Geographic Priority

BREW prioritizes organizations, schools, events, and initiatives located in:

• New Smyrna Beach
• Nearby communities
• The surrounding local area served by BREW and its customers

Requests without a clear connection to New Smyrna Beach or the surrounding region may not be considered.

Most out-of-area and national requests cannot be supported because of BREW’s limited charitable resources and local giving priorities.

Connection to BREW

Priority is given to applicants that have an established connection to BREW or the local community.

This may include:

• Organizations whose staff, volunteers, or supporters are BREW customers
• Schools or organizations serving BREW customers and their families
• Events taking place in New Smyrna Beach or nearby communities
• Organizations with an existing relationship with BREW
• Programs that directly benefit the community surrounding BREW

Applicants should use the donation request form to explain their connection to BREW, its customers, or the local community.

A previous relationship is not necessarily required, but demonstrating an authentic local connection may strengthen the request.

Selection Criteria

BREW evaluates donation requests based on:

• Alignment with BREW’s values
• Impact within the local community
• Connection to BREW and its customers
• Strength and clarity of the request
• How the donation will be used
• Availability of charitable resources at the time of the request

Submitting a donation request does not guarantee that support will be provided.

Funding and Donation Amounts

BREW does not publish standard donation amounts or available donation types.

The form of support may depend on:

• The nature of the request
• The proposed use of the donation
• The organization or event’s connection to BREW
• Anticipated local impact
• Available resources

Applicants should clearly describe what they are requesting and how the requested donation will support the organization, event, or community initiative.

Application Limit

Organizations are limited to:

• One donation request per calendar year

Applicants should carefully select the event, program, or initiative for which they are requesting support.

Organizations that have already received a donation from BREW during the current calendar year should wait until the following year before submitting another request.
