Brew and Feed Launches DEI Initiative: Supporting HBCUs Through Every Purchase

Brew and Feed Launches DEI Initiative: Supporting HBCUs Through Every Purchase

At Brew and Feed, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are more than just words—they are commitments that drive meaningful action. In keeping with our mission to create a more equitable and inclusive future, we are proud to announce a new initiative that integrates social impact directly into our business model. Through a partnership with ShoppingGives, we are implementing software on our website that will automatically donate 5% of every purchase to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), supporting students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever

The landscape of higher education is shifting. In the first full admissions cycle since the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled that race-conscious admissions are unconstitutional, HBCUs have experienced a historic surge in both applications and enrollments. This increase underscores the critical role these institutions play in providing high-quality education, fostering leadership, and empowering students from historically underrepresented backgrounds.

While this growth is promising, it also brings challenges. More students mean greater demand for scholarships, campus resources, and faculty support. The Thurgood Marshall College Fund is at the forefront of meeting these needs, providing financial assistance and professional development opportunities to students at publicly supported HBCUs.

How Brew and Feed is Making a Difference

Our DEI initiative is designed to provide sustained financial support to these institutions and their students. By leveraging ShoppingGives, an innovative donation platform, we ensure that every customer who shops on brewandfeed.com contributes directly to educational equity.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Automatic Giving: Every purchase made on our website triggers an automatic 5% donation to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund—at no extra cost to the customer.
  2. Seamless Integration: The donation process is built into the checkout experience, making it easy for customers to support HBCUs while enjoying our high-quality products.
  3. Impact Tracking: Customers can see the direct impact of their purchases and how our collective efforts are making a tangible difference.

A Commitment to Long-Term Change

Brew and Feed has always been about flavor and community, and this initiative strengthens that mission. By aligning our business with a cause that directly impacts educational access and equity, we are using our platform to uplift the next generation of Black leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators.

We recognize that meaningful DEI efforts go beyond statements—they require action and investment. This initiative is just one step in our broader commitment to fostering a more inclusive industry and society.

Join Us in Supporting HBCUs

Every time you purchase our craft beer, seasonings, infused oils, balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, tea, or coffee, you’re not just getting high-quality, flavorful products—you’re also contributing to the education and success of HBCU students.

We invite our customers, partners, and community members to join us in this movement. Together, we can turn commerce into a force for good and ensure that HBCUs continue to thrive in this pivotal moment.
