The 2022 She Boss Up Grant Program is Open

The 2022 She Boss Up Grant Program is open and we can’t wait to read your applications. As part of our mission to help small business owners, we have an annual grant program called the She Boss Up Grant Program. In 2020, we created the grant to help women entrepreneurs stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic. With partners like you and our own money, we awarded micro-grants to 12 women business owners. Then, we made it even better, increased award amounts, and gave 10 women business owners grants.

This year, we will be awarding 20 women with healthy prize packages that will include cash prizes, coaching, mentorship, products, and services to help them achieve their success goals. We couldn’t have done this without our amazing partners.

We do our best to provide information about external funding opportunities. However, women entrepreneurs are still underfunded.

We know you need to:

• Recover from the COVID-19 pandemic
• Keep your business doors open
• Scale your business
• Buy inventory
• Pay business bills
• Settle business debt
• Get access to resources that will help you be a better business owner
