Announcing the Bevolution Creators in Brewing Grantees
Congratulations to the six recipients of the Bevolution Creators in Brewing Grant, a collaboration with our friends Beer is for Everyone!
For our second Bevolution Creators in Brewing grant, a collaboration with Beer is for Everyone, we received far more applications than we had expected! We are so grateful to all who applied and the opportunity to learn more about each applicants experience and goals within the brewing world. As we launch more grants and offer more opportunities to creators, we encourage those who may not have received a grant this time around to apply again! After careful review, we have selected six grantees vs five like we had originally planned because there were SO many incredible applicants. Each recipient will receive a $300 stipend and 1-hour consultation with Ash Eliot (Women of the Bevolution) and Lindsay Malu Kido (Beer is for Everyone).
Over the coming weeks, we will be spotlighting each creator so you can learn more about their journey and goals within the brewing space.
For updates on future grants, make sure you’re subscribing here on Substack, checking back on our website WomenoftheBevolution.com or following along on our Instagram @WomenoftheBevolution.
