Thank You Schilling Cider for Helping Keep Washington Wild!

For the fifth consecutive year, Schilling Cider (Schilling) has demonstrated what corporate conservation leadership looks like through its KEEP IT WILD initiative. 

Along with their generous distribution partners including Columbia Distributing, Coors Distributing Company, RNDC-Anchorage, Crescent Crown Distributing, Hayden Beverage Company, Finley Distributing, Legacy Beverage, Keg 1 Colorado, and Golden Brands, Schilling Cider raised an incredible $142,900 for eight conservation nonprofit partners across the country. The total surpasses last year’s record-breaking contribution of $105,000 and marks the most successful KEEP IT WILD campaign to date. 

Now recognized as the largest environmental fundraising initiative in the cider industry, KEEP IT WILD has grown steadily since its launch in 2022. Each April, Schilling donates 5% of sales from select top-selling ciders to organizations working to protect the wild lands, waters, and wildlife that make our communities special. This year, the program expanded into North Carolina and Virginia, broadening its reach and impact while inviting even more cider lovers to support conservation with every pint purchased. 

For Schilling, KEEP IT WILD is more than a fundraising campaign—it’s a reflection of the company’s belief that businesses have a responsibility to invest in the places that sustain us all. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the conservation organizations doing the hard work on the ground every day.

Among this year’s recipients, Washington Wild received a record-setting $42,500, up from $33,000 in 2025. Schilling has long recognized Washington Wild’s tireless efforts to protect the state’s forests, rivers, wildlife habitat, and public lands. Their support reflects a deep appreciation for the organization’s work to keep Washington’s lands and waters wild, healthy, and accessible for current and future generations. 

We are profoundly grateful to Schilling Cider and its distribution partners for their continued commitment to conservation. Together, we are proving that when businesses, nonprofits, and communities come together, we can create a lasting impact for the wild places we all cherish.
