CREATORS IN BEV GRANT PROGRAM
Women of the Bevolution and Beer is for Everyone have teamed up on the Creators in Bev Grant Program for women and non-binary beverage industry professionals.
“There are probably doors that have opened I haven’t even walked through or seen that are open … [after receiving the grant], people know about me. It’s just an immense network of camaraderie and community. Women of the Bevolution really gives you that family and support.

About the Bevolution Brave Voices Fund:
To further support the brave voices who have shared their stories, Women of the Bevolution has partnered with Another Round Another Rally (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization) and beer industry professionals Brienne Allan and Jen Blair to launch an emergency relief fundraiser to provide women, femmes and non-binary individuals who work in the alcohol/beverage industry with resources to help them leave toxic work environments and move forward.
What started out by Brienne Allan, a brewer and production manager at Notch Brewing in Salem, MA, asking on her Instagram Stories @RatMagnet if anyone had ever experienced sexism in the beer industry quickly became the inquiry that sent shockwaves throughout craft beer, subsequently inspiring a BEVOLUTION. Inspired by the brave voices who have shared now thousands of stories of gender discrimination, sexual harassment, assault and racism in the beer industry, we are collecting funds for these alcohol industry professionals to have the support and resources to leave toxic workplaces.
Tax deductable donations will be used to provide financial aid for bills, mental health therapy, legal advice and job placement assistance to help those in need transition out of these companies and have the necessary support to move forward.
Thank you to our partners Another Round Another Rally, Brienne Allan, Jen Blair, HRuprise, Empower Law and Hop Forward Consulting.
