The Beerenberg Foundation

Launched in 2010, the Beerenberg Foundation is a private trust, established solely for charitable purposes by Beerenberg Pty Ltd. It gives us the opportunity to focus our philanthropic activities and give back to the place we’re proud to call home.

Here is just a small selection of the projects funded and supported by the Beerenberg Foundation over the years.

Beerenberg provided support to Saint Paul's Lutheran Church of Hahndorf for the performance of the cantata "St Nicholas" by British composer, Benjamin Britten.

The Beerenberg Foundation has been a supporter of the Heysen Sculpture Biennial Exhibition (HSB) for many years and continues to support the annual event.

The signs, co-funded by the Beerenberg Foundation, provide a cultural appreciation and historical perspective about the life of the early pioneers who settled the township of Hahndorf.

The Beerenberg Foundation provided funding to assist the local Landcare group, Trees Please! Inc. to collect seed from local native trees and shrubs, raise seedlings and plant them in the Hahndorf area.

We provided funding to the Hahndorf Community Association Inc. to create and install heritage signs on State Heritage buildings along Hahndorf Main Street. Each sign conveys the history of each building.

This inaugural symposium saw eight internationally acclaimed sculptors work over 20 days at The Cedars in Hahndorf to create eight totally unique stone sculptures, now permanently in situ in the village.

Ink Pot Arts, with the support of the District Council of Mount Barker and sponsors, presented From Footprint to Footplate, an in-school performance acknowledging and celebrating the history of the Adelaide Hills region.

The Hahndorf Community Association initiated a project with the Mount Barker District to preserve and restore the historic Nixon's Mill to its former glory.
