Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $50,000
Summary
This grant program offers regular awards to support women-led ventures across the U.S. and Canada, including early-stage businesses, established small businesses, and even nonprofit organizations. With a simple application process, applicants describe their business or nonprofit and share their vision — judges are looking for passion, clear purpose, and genuine potential.
Each month, several awards of moderate size are distributed. These monthly grants provide flexible funds that can be used for a wide range of business needs — whether that’s launching a new product, covering operating costs, supporting marketing, or investing in growth. For very early-stage or “idea phase” ventures that haven’t yet generated much revenue, there is a dedicated grant stream designed just for startups. Likewise, there’s room for businesses that fall into particular categories (such as creative services, education, or wellness) to apply under a rotating business-category grant.
Beyond the monthly prizes, the program recognizes top performers at the end of the year by selecting a few of the monthly winners for larger, more substantial awards. These year-end grants are meant to give a powerful boost to women-led enterprises that have shown promise and tenacity.
Because the opportunity is open to nonprofits as well as for-profit small businesses, its aim reflects a commitment to uplifting a wide variety of women entrepreneurs. The funds are not restricted to very narrow project types: winners have used the money for everything from staffing and infrastructure to product development and community programs.
Eligibility is relatively broad — the program accepts applications from adult women who own at least part of a business or organization. The geographical reach includes both the United States and Canada. In short, this grant is an accessible, recurring support opportunity intended to help women bring their business dreams to life or scale up meaningful work, regardless of their stage or sector.
