Her Village Grant

Boundless Futures Foundation is a private organization committed to supporting female entrepreneurs through direct funding to both businesses and nonprofit organizations that share their mission. Founded to empower, embrace, and elevate women in business, the Foundation focuses on providing capital, resources, and support that address systemic barriers to women’s entrepreneurial success. Their grants prioritize businesses and organizations that align social impact with profitability and demonstrate an ambitious and effective reach in solving major societal challenges. The Foundation’s Her Village Grant program is specifically targeted at nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations registered and operating in the United States. These organizations must offer programming that supports female business founders, such as skill-building, mentorship, business education, incubators or accelerators, or financial access. Grants are awarded to nonprofits that share the Foundation's mission to address systemic inequities and empower women as entrepreneurs through initiatives with a strong social enterprise component. Only one Her Village grant is awarded annually. The 2025 Her Village grant recipient is Kiva, a global nonprofit that expands financial access through crowdfunded loans. Kiva received a $100,000 grant to support a social enterprise impact study and loans for female-founded businesses with a social focus. The next Her Village grantee will be selected in 2026. Previous grantees have included Venture North, the Women’s Business Development Center, the Center for Women and Enterprise, Traverse Connect, and the Women’s Impact Alliance, with grant amounts ranging from $25,000 to $30,000. While the Foundation encourages potential applicants to confirm eligibility before beginning the application process, no specific application deadlines, question lists, or contact submission portals are currently available in the documentation.
