Overview:
The #GIRLBOSS Foundation awards one grant biannually to female entrepreneurs pursuing creative endeavors. Each grant beneficiary will receive project funding of $15,000, in addition to exposure through the #GIRLBOSS digital channels.
Grants are exclusive to female creative business owners in the worlds of design, fashion, music, and the arts. To be eligible, applicants must identify as female, US residents, that are or will be 18 years or older by the close of the submission window. Unfortunately we are currently unable to accept international applications.
Our selection committee is formed from a group of Girlboss Media staff and led by Sophia Amoruso. The committee reviews all applications submitted within the period and judges each project based on the following criteria:
- Demonstrates creativity + innovation in the specific field (30%)
- Demonstrates business acumen + forward planning (30%)
- Demonstrates financial need (30%)
- Proposed timing, work plan, and budget are clear, detailed, and achievable within the next 12 months (10%)
Details:
- Amount: $15,000
- Apply: June and December

I don’t know much about this group – but I can think of lots of women in my life who would be a great fit for this opportunity.
