EmpowHer Grants
$25,000 grant for small business owners from Boundless Futures
What are the EmpowHer Grants?
The Boundless Futures Foundation EmpowHer Grant is a funding program designed to support early-stage female entrepreneurs who are building businesses that address social issues. In addition to grant capital, the program provides access to a network of experienced professionals offering guidance across financial planning, marketing, leadership, and long-term business strategy.
What are the requirements?
Applicants must be female entrepreneurs aged 22 or older with a business that is registered and operating solely in the United States. Eligible businesses must be no more than three years old and must address a social issue either directly or through their business model. Applicants are required to self-report a credit score and agree to a third-party background check as part of the award process.
Who is the grant best for?
This grant is best for women founders in the early stages of building a socially driven business who are seeking both capital and mentorship. It's especially well suited for entrepreneurs who value hands-on guidance and want support from a network of advisors alongside grant funding.
How are the winners selected?
Grant recipients are selected by the Boundless Futures Foundation based on a review of submitted applications, with consideration given to the business's social impact, stage of growth, and founder readiness. Selected applicants receive grant funding along with access to the foundation's advisor network.
