What Pink Boots Society does
Mission
The Pink Boots Society aims to assist, inspire and encourage women and non-binary individuals in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry to advance their careers through education.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Pink Boots Society is focused on the advancement of women and non-binary individuals in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry through education. Our scholarships are made possible with industry support from breweries, hop suppliers, maltsters, affiliate businesses, and generous donors. We partner with accredited universities and reputable online programs such as oregon state university, uc davis, cicerone beer savvy and siebel institute. Our scholarships and educational programming reflect a wide array of professional development topics; brewing techniques, sensory evaluation, fermentation science, brewery buildout, marketing, and the business of craft beer, among others. Upon completion of their coursework, scholarship recipients become ambassadors for professional education, an increased asset to their company, and mentors for fellow pink boots members. In addition, pink boots continues the ripple effect of community education by requiring each scholarship recipient to "pay-it-forward" by teaching what they learned to their chapter, company, or community at large. We provide community support for over 1800 members around the world. We provide education resources online,…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2020 to 2021, from $542k to $955k (+76%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 8% · 2021 6% · 2022 2% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
67% of PINK BOOTS SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $500 → $570.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 90% 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 PINK BOOTS SOCIETY’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
PINK BOOTS SOCIETY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 PINK BOOTS SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 95% · 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
90% of PINK BOOTS SOCIETY'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. Of the $6k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
