Her Village Grant
This funding opportunity provides financial support to nonprofit organizations that empower female entrepreneurs through education, mentorship, and resources to help them succeed.
The Boundless Futures Foundation provides critical support to female entrepreneurs and mission-aligned nonprofit organizations through its targeted grant programs. As a private philanthropic entity, the Foundation’s core mission centers around empowering women to succeed in business ventures that prioritize social impact. This is achieved by awarding grants to early-stage, female-led businesses that address significant societal challenges, such as poverty, hunger, humanitarian aid, sustainability, and environmental issues. The Foundation believes that entrepreneurs possess the unique ability to create positive social change when business is aligned with purpose, and thus it supports ventures that deliberately integrate profit with meaningful social contributions. The Foundation’s commitment extends beyond for-profit businesses to include nonprofit organizations that provide resources and programming aimed at cultivating female entrepreneurship. Through its Her Village Grants, the Foundation partners with one nonprofit annually that shares its vision of breaking down systemic barriers for women in business. These selected nonprofits typically offer services such as education, mentorship, access to capital, and leadership development with a clear focus on social enterprise. The intent is to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem for women by supporting organizations that equip them with the tools to build and sustain successful businesses. Boundless Futures Foundation has emphasized the importance of verifying eligibility before starting the application process. For the Her Village Grants, eligible applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. These nonprofits should demonstrate alignment with the Foundation’s mission and a proven ability to make a deep impact through entrepreneurship-centered programs that help women launch and grow socially responsible businesses. The Foundation’s grantmaking process is selective and focuses on identifying partners who amplify its mission of "doing good by doing well." Applicants are expected to clearly articulate how their programs support female founders and contribute to solving systemic inequities. While specific application components are not publicly listed, the process encourages early engagement to ensure mission alignment. Prospective applicants are advised to assess their qualifications against the Foundation’s focus areas prior to initiating a submission. The Her Village Grant is awarded annually, with the next nonprofit grantee scheduled to be selected in 2026. This indicates a recurring grant cycle, although no specific application or pre-application deadlines have been disclosed at this time. Based on standard philanthropic practice and the annual nature of the award, applicants can anticipate a yearly timeline for future opportunities. No specific contact details or application platform have been provided, and there is no mention of a formal Request for Proposals or downloadable PDF guidelines. Overall, the Boundless Futures Foundation’s Her Village Grant serves as a strategic instrument to support systemic change by funding organizations that enhance the capacity of female entrepreneurs. By offering both financial and strategic support to mission-aligned nonprofits, the Foundation aims to create a ripple effect in communities, helping women overcome barriers and thrive in purpose-driven business environments.
