There is more to coopers than making beer

Since the Brewery was founded in 1862 by Thomas Cooper, our family has supported the community in a variety of ways.

In recent times, the Coopers Brewery Foundation was established to provide additional focus on our social commitment. As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of supporting families and individuals in their time of need.

The Foundation aims to improve and protect the quality of life of Australians by providing support to charitable organisations with recognised strengths in medical research and health care, in youth education, and aged care, and in fostering family and community support, based on Christian values.

THANK YOU

Thank you to the generous people and groups who have donated to the Coopers Brewery Foundation.

The Foundation operates in such a way that every dollar donated is distributed to worthy charitable projects, with all costs of the Foundation met by Coopers Brewery Limited. Coopers Brewery also donates income received from brewery tours, recycling and special events directly to the Foundation.

Since the Foundation’s inception in 2006, we have distributed more than $5 million to 197 worthy charities, supporting more than 280 charitable projects throughout Australia.
