Community Giving
We live and distill in a small, mountain town where the community values the outdoors, the arts, providing services and support to those in need, and staying connected to the wider world. We do too, so when it comes to community giving, we keep that in mind. Our community is right outside our door, and it stretches across the globe.
11 NONPROFITS & CAUSES SUPPORTED
IN 2024
OVER $5000 (CASH & IN-KIND)
Donations and Charitable Giving
We moved Montanya Distillers to Crested Butte in 2011 because we believed the community would support our business and our vision for the future. We were right.
The people of Crested Butte are among our biggest fans, and running the Tasting Room and Distillery in a tourist destination introduces our rums to many new people.
We give to our community and our industry through cash and in-kind donations, by sponsoring events and organizations, and now more than ever lending our time and expertise.
We support causes that our employees care about too.
Our giving has included the arts, outdoor recreation, environmental advocacy, women’s safety, child wellbeing, and local food production.
We give to such a wide variety of causes because we want to help our community thrive—each of these things is integral to a prosperous community.
As our company grows, our giving will too. Because how we do business will always be as important as doing business.

Global Citizenship
Every time you walk into a kitchen – in your restaurant or at your home – and turn on a modern gas or electric range, it’s a moment to be grateful. Three billion people around the world – a third of the global population – don’t have the luxury of instant, efficient heat for cooking.
For those of us in the food and beverage industry, this crisis hits close to home. At Montanya, we believe that every community should be able to feed itself safely while helping to create a better climate future for all of us.
Through funding our carbon offsets with ClimateHound, Montanya is supporting clean cookstove initiatives, like those led by StoveTeam and World Central Kitchen, that put low-smoke, fuel-efficient technologies in the hands of people in regions where open fires are the dominant form of cooking. Whether it uses liquid fuels, solar power, or even just half as much wood as an open fire, a single clean cookstove can offset a level of emissions that’s equivalent to a typical American’s entire annual carbon footprint.
Montanya Distillers has been honored to aid in those efforts, and we’re excited to see where they lead.
