What Beautyunited does
Mission
The beauty and wellness industry has the power to transform how people see and feel about themselves. Beautyunited is a coalition of leaders - founders of cult brands, senior executives and industry heavyweights who drive innovation and creativity through new models of leadership. Mobilized by Beautyuniteds powerful network of brands, celebrities and influencers, and loyal consumers, our programs provide education and access to serve the next generation of beauty leaders.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
BeautyUnited launched the BeautyUnited Fellowship in April 2023. The BeautyUnited Fellowship is a year-long cohort initiative for BIPOC and Latinx leaders who are determined, driven and motivated to create change from within the beauty and wellness industry. With a focus on both entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial skills, this fellowship helped Fellows dive deep into the issues people of color face in the industry and support them with the tools and access they need to continue to get ahead.As beauty and wellness are aggressively working to broaden products to suit all customers and to create more inclusive messaging, an essential element in capturing that market share requires a new take on investing in and training leaders from these underrepresented communities.In 2023, BeautyUnited served 12 Fellows, and each Fellow was paired with a mentor in the Beauty and Wellness industry. In 2023, The Fellowship Program hosted a total of 30 events including guest speakers, panelists, group masterminds, themed discussions, and networking events. BeautyUnited also provided ongoing resources including themed book recommendations and grant opportunities

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $290k to $56k (−81%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of BEAUTYUNITED’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (75% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $212k → $25k.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of BEAUTYUNITED’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
BEAUTYUNITED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 89% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund BEAUTYUNITED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of BEAUTYUNITED's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $237k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
BEAUTYUNITED's revenue fell 91% between 2022 and 2024.
