FAQs

We are not able to donate to the following types of groups:

• Events that are affiliated with colleges or universities, at which underage students will be present (Events that are strictly 21+ are welcome to apply)
• Political parties, candidates, or campaigns
• Sports teams, athletic programs, or booster clubs that do not have a charitable component (please contact Carolyn at ccummings@harpoon.com with any athletic sponsorship requests)

For all requests for donations, fill out our donation request form with our charitable arm, Harpoon Helps, at www.harpoonhelps.com. Because of the number of requests we receive, we ask that you do not stop by or call. For questions on Harpoon Helps, please email harpoonhelps@harpoonbrewery.com

Pretty strict. You definitely need to submit your requests based on the timelines below. If we get more requests than anticipated for any given month, we could even end up allocating our budget before these suggested dates. So make sure to stay far ahead of these deadlines and submit your requests as soon as possible. Because once these dates have passed or once our budget is gone (whichever comes first) we will not be able to donate to your event.

We allocate our charitable giving budget on a monthly basis. Due to the volume of requests we receive, we ask that you submit your request according to this schedule:

If you are requesting donated beer, please understand that there are certain liabilities we face when donating our products:

• You will be asked to sign our indemnification/hold harmless agreement.
• You will be required to add Harpoon to your insurance certificate as an additional insured.
• Harpoon beer donations must be picked up at the Boston brewery by authorized representatives of the charity to which the beer is donated.

We have a small Private Tasting Room here at that brewery, which is available to registered 501c3 organizations for a reduced rental fee. The room fits a maximum of 60 people and can be rented for 90 minutes, from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. If this room will fit your needs, please contact our private event team at beerhall@harpoon.com. Our availability to host events in that space is very limited, and we approve requests on a first come, first served basis. We cannot guarantee that we can approve your request or that your desired date will be available, but the earlier you submit your request, the better!

If your group is larger than 60 or if that evening timeframe doesn’t work for your event, we do have other beautiful spaces available for rent here at the Brewery. Please note that the rental fee for these spaces cannot be reduced for charitable groups—that option only exists for the tasting room. If you would like to look into our other event spaces, discuss pricing, or schedule a visit, please contact our private event team at beerhall@harpoon.com.
