who we are
Pint by pint, pour by pour: Pour For More (PFM) compounds micro-scale donations from participating vendors into a single fund that makes significant, consistent impact on local charities.
PFM participants include breweries, taprooms, wineries, coffee shops and any other establishments serving locally crafted beverages. Pour For More selects 12 Northern Michigan nonprofits annually, featuring one per month.
Pour For More is a Michigan 5019(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Traverse City. It was established in 2016 by Rare Bird Brewpub's owner and brewer, Tina Schuett, and now consists of a board of 6 locals, each contributing their own special talents.
