Beerstock 5060 is organized entirely by unpaid volunteers. This year, the Beerstock 5060 organizing committee incorporated as a 501(c)(7) non-profit organization called the Washington State Homebrewers Collective, ensuring the future stability of Beerstock 5060. Some benefits are; Tax Exempt Status – Any funds received will not be taxed. Liability Protection - If something bad did happen at the event, liability would be limited to the organization, protecting event organizers and participants. Better Funds Management – This allowed a bank account to be opened in the organization’s name and created more options for taking digital payments.
