CREATORS IN BEV GRANT
Women of the Bevolution and Beer is for Everyone have teamed up to launch a grant program for women and non-binary entrepreneurs, digital creators, brewers, and homebrewers who identify as underrepresented or underserved members including, but not limited to, BIWOC and LGBTQIA+ of the craft beverage community who are looking for guidance on creating content, developing a brand or releasing a product.
Why these programs are important: Less than 3% of breweries are owned solely by women. In the hospitality industry, women are 51.2% of the workforce, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The alcohol/beverage industry is predominantly male-owned and operated.
In order to increase representation, there have to be more resources, funding, and support for women and non-binary beverage industry professionals and creators within the space. We hope through these grant programs we can help change those stats.
The Impact
Over $23,000 in financial support and over 30 hours in mentorship has been provided to 18 women & non-binary beverage industry professionals through the Bevolution Creators in Bev Grant (collab with Beer is for Everyone) and the Creator Launchpad Grant (collab with Beer Kulture) since the spring of 2022.

“Every conversation we’ve had with grantees has been inspiring and a reminder of how important this program is and how important it is to expand it. I think by hearing from the grantees directly about their goals, ideas, and the hurdles they’ve encountered in this industry, has really helped us to figure out what needs to happen to further support them and help them accomplish these goals.”
