Her Village Grant

The Her Village grant is a philanthropic funding opportunity awarded by Boundless Futures Foundation, a private nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting female entrepreneurs and nonprofits aligned with its mission. Established to reduce systemic barriers for women in business, Boundless Futures Foundation seeks to promote economic inclusion and empowerment through targeted grant programs. The foundation provides funding to early-stage female-founded businesses and mission-driven nonprofits that help women start and sustain enterprises, particularly those focused on social impact and economic equity. Her Village is the foundation’s flagship grant program for nonprofit organizations and is awarded once annually to a single 501(c)(3) nonprofit that aligns closely with Boundless Futures Foundation’s mission and values. The grant supports organizations that equip female entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, mentorship, access to capital, and programming required to thrive in business. The foundation emphasizes the importance of transformational, systems-level support—moving beyond surface-level assistance to create durable pathways for women’s economic participation and leadership. Eligible applicants must be nonprofit organizations that demonstrate a strong track record of offering programs tailored to women entrepreneurs. These may include educational initiatives, mentorship services, financing programs, and community-building efforts. The foundation prioritizes organizations that serve under-resourced populations and incorporate social enterprise models or components. A distinctive element of the Her Village grant is its exclusive, invitation-only application process, which limits the pool to vetted organizations identified by the foundation’s internal team or network. Recent Her Village grant recipients underscore the foundation’s commitment to impactful partnerships. In 2026, Boundless Futures Foundation awarded the grant to Ladies Who Launch, a U.S.-based international nonprofit supporting under-resourced women entrepreneurs. The grant funded the distribution of ten $10,000 microgrants through their Launch Program and provided additional resources for entrepreneurial capacity building. Previous recipients include Kiva (2025), Venture North, the Women’s Business Development Center, the Center for Women and Enterprise, Traverse Connect, and the Women’s Impact Alliance—organizations selected for their innovative and proven support of female founders. Applications are not accepted through an open call; instead, eligible nonprofits must receive a direct invitation to apply. As such, there are no public timelines for submission or award notification. Boundless Futures Foundation publicly announces the recipient on an annual basis. The current recipient was announced in 2026, with the next grant scheduled for announcement in 2027. Interested organizations are encouraged to monitor Boundless Futures Foundation’s website or contact the foundation for more information about partnership opportunities. The grant process includes a review of the nonprofit's mission alignment, depth of impact, and ability to contribute to systemic solutions that benefit female entrepreneurs. While specific documentation or application components are not disclosed due to the invitational process, selected grantees are likely to undergo a comprehensive vetting process that may include interviews, background checks, and financial assessments. Boundless Futures Foundation provides grantees not only with funding but also with access to a network of advisors and continued strategic support.
