The Distilling Reseach Grand was formed in 2018 as a 501(c)3, under the initiative of American Distilling Institute, the oldest and largest organization for craft distillers, to support craft distilling by funding scientific research. The organization is administered by volunteer ADI staff members and an independent selection advisory committee.
The newly formed non-profit Distilling Research Grant (DRG) is funded by the proceeds of the online auction. The funds will be dispersed to students and interns by an independent Advisory Committee composed of academics, distillers and scientists.
The second annual online charity auction will run from September 25 to November 25, 2019 at 11:59pm PST. Winners will be notified no later than November 30.
Any questions on the scholarships and the non-profit organization can be directed to Erik Owens (eriko[at]distilling.com) who will coordinate with the Advisory Committee.
Suppliers interested in participating in this or future auctions can contact matt[at]distilling.com.
