Mission
We provide financial and leadership resources for aspiring female entrepreneurs building businesses to solve today's biggest social issues so they can have a boundless impact in society.
Boundless Futures Foundation supports entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations through its two grant-making programs.
EmpowHer Grants
If you are a female entrepreneur interested in grant support for an early-stage, for-profit business, please select the 'EmpowHer Grant' below.
Businesses that are eligible for an EmpowHer Grant address one of the following social issues* through their product or business model:
- Poverty & Hunger
- Sustainability & the Environment
- Strong Communities
EmpowHer Grants are reviewed quarterly. Applications close near the end of each quarter. If you do not have enough time to complete an application before it closes, please consider waiting to begin in the next quarter:
- Q1: January-March
- Q2: April-June
- Q3: July-September
- Q4: October-December
*We define 'social issues' as issues that impact society, and we refer to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a useful tool for thinking about social issues. We believe that entrepreneurs have the potential to contribute powerfully to solutions to society's issues through successful businesses.
Her Village Grants
If you represent a nonprofit that supports female entrepreneurs and would benefit from grant funding, please note that there are two application cycles per year for 'Her Village Grants.' If you do not see a Her Village Grant link on this page, please check back between January and the end of March, or between July and the end of September.
