Yellowstone Beer Fest was organized in 2014 by residents of Park County Wyoming. The organization operates exclusively for charitable purposes. The organization raises money to then distribute to local charities in an effort to help them further their exempt purpose and achieve their goals. Yellowstone Beer Fest holds one main fundraising event each year. The event is 100% volunteer-run with no one receiving compensation. The money received from ticket sales, merchandise sales, sponsorships, and donations, after covering the cost of the fundraising event, is exclusively donated to charitable organizations in the Park County area. In addition to the Beer Fest event, the City of Cody has asked Yellowstone Beer Fest to sell beer during their Concerts in the Park events the last two summers. The money received at these events are also donated to local charities.

​

Examples of organizations that have received donations from Yellowstone Beer Fest are CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), Cody Lion’s Club, Park County Animal Shelter, and Western Bear Foundation. Yellowstone Beer Fest exclusively donates money to causes that have an IRC Section 501 designation, and we do not donate money to political campaigns or lobbying efforts.
