Eligible nonprofits that serve the veterans community can now apply for a one-time grant from the 2022 Evan Williams American-Made Heroes Foundation Fund, from now until April 1st.
As an American-made and American-owned bourbon, Evan Williams supports U.S. military veterans through its American-Made Heroes Foundation Fund, established in 2020.
The fund continues the brand’s support of veteran communities since launching the Evan Williams American-Made Heroes program and limited-edition label in 2015.
So far, Evan Williams has recognized 42 veteran heroes on its American Hero Edition bottles and donated $450,000 to nonprofits. For the third consecutive year through the American-Made Heroes Foundation Fund, Evan Williams will donate up to $75,000 to veteran causes with each grant totaling between $4,000 to $6,000.
A prepared statement from Evan Williams explains that the purpose of the foundation is to provide a platform for sharing inspiring veteran stories, raising public awareness for causes impacting the veteran community, and supporting nonprofit organizations that help veterans and their families through a specialized grant program.
