Overview

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.

What it reported doing in 2024

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.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
