MNCBG Membership Dues Support Scholarship

Submissions Reviewed: April 17
Award Notification: Following Week
Funds Available MNCBG Dues Aid: $250 (50% off annual dues)

We believe membership in industry associations provides numerous benefits to craft breweries and brewpubs and makes our industry, it's staff, and it's product better. To help MN's breweries and brewpubs offset the costs of membership to the MNCBG we are proud to offer Dues Support Scholarship to our members.

This aid is meant to support businesses where membership cost is a significant barrier to participation, where they could not afford to be members otherwise. Application does not guarantee receiving aid.

Eligibility: Any MN craft brewery, brewpub, or brewery in planning is eligible to apply. Owners or other principals at the business are the most appropriate applicant, though any staff member can apply on behalf of your business.

Details: If your business has not yet paid your annual membership dues, your invoice will be updated to reflect the reduced amount. Your discounted invoice must be paid on time or your aid will be forfeited and awarded to another applicant. If your business has already paid your membership dues, you will be reimbursed the aid amount.

If you have any questions, please email Jess Talley, Executive Director, at Jess@mncraftbrew.org.

Financial Constraints, General: The dues are consistently too expensive for us to afford year after yearFinancial Constraints, Specific: The dues are too expensive for us this year/right now (unexpected costs, timing, etc.)Cost vs Benefit: We are not able to take full advantage of the benefits, so the value we get does not match the cost

If I am not selected to receive aid, I would like to be contacted with more information about a payment plan for MNCBG annual dues (50% now, 50% July 1).
