Curious whether you'd qualify?

Impact Grants are for registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits running programs that serve women — in economic empowerment, education, leadership, health, housing stability, violence prevention, or financial literacy. If your organization is doing that work and can show what it achieves, this one's for you.

The Seed Fund is for women-owned businesses at the beginning or ready to grow. It funds the practical things: forming the business, equipment, marketing, product development, professional help, early operating costs. Your business doesn't have to be incorporated yet.
