Creators! Apply for the Bevolution Creators in Bev Grant
The Spring 2025 grant program for women and non-binary craft beverage professionals is now accepting submissions!
Women of the Bevolution and Beer is for Everyone have joined forces to launch a grant program specifically designed for women and non-binary entrepreneurs, digital creators, brewers, and homebrewers who identify as underrepresented or underserved members of the craft beverage community—including, but not limited to, BIWOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals—who are seeking guidance on creating content, developing a brand, or releasing a product.
Whether you're a visionary entrepreneur, innovative content creator, professional brewer, or passionate homebrewer, this grant provides both funding and mentorship to assist women and nonbinary beverage industry professionals in turning their craft beverage dreams into reality.
Why This Program Matters:
Less than 3% of breweries are owned solely by women (Brewer's Association, 2021)
85% of consumer purchasing decisions are made by women, yet they're vastly underrepresented in product development (Forbes, 2019)
Only 2% of venture capital funding goes to women-owned businesses (PitchBook Report, 2023)
BIWOC are starting businesses at 4.5x the rate of all businesses, yet receive less than 1% of venture funding (State of Women-Owned Business Report, 2023)
While women make up 51.2% of the hospitality workforce according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the alcohol/beverage industry remains predominantly male-owned and operated.
Let’s change these statistics! Through grant programs, allocating resources, and elevating these creators, we can make significant progress in changing these numbers.
