"PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity."
They put on the PyData conferences across the world -- for example, PyData NYC 2019 was last week[1].
Profit from the conferences goes toward supporting NumFOCUS programs, including many open source projects[2].
Little-known fact: despite the name, PyData is not just a community for Python. Though Python is probably the largest sub-community within the PyData umbrella, PyData actually covers the Julia and R communities, as well. This is similar to how Jupyter Notebooks, and the parent Jupyter project, though very commonly used by Python data analysts, are also used by R and Julia programmers. In fact, Jupyter is a kind of portmanteau for "(Ju)lia, (Pyt)hon, and (R)".
If your company is looking to hire people comfortable with an open source data analysis stack -- while also supporting the good cause of scientific and data-oriented open source projects -- then you should consider forwarding sponsorship information from PyData's website[3] to a relevant hiring or marketing manager.
