Charitable Giving

Restaurant Fundraising

We value local charity partnerships, thus all CraftWorks Foundation giving comes through the relationships local charities develop with our restaurants. By leveraging our restaurants' resources of people, money, time and hospitality, we successfully fundraise hundreds of thousands of dollars and volunteer hundreds of hours to worthy causes every year. Common fundraisers include percentage of sales nights, tapping parties, and tap take overs. Through these efforts we not only raise funds for hundreds of nonprofit partners across the country, but help to spread their mission and raise awareness about important community issues.
