LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR GRANT RECIPIENTS
AND GIVE TO THEIR IFUNDWOMEN® CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGNS
Through funding and support, we’re helping to close the Confidence Gap—and so can you, by contributing to their crowdfunding campaigns. We can all play a part in supporting the future of women leaders in business.
From 6,500+ amazing entries, a judging panel of business leaders from BOTOX® Cosmetic and IFundWomen selected our final 20 grant recipients. Each will receive a $25,000 grant, plus coaching, and mentorship.
While women make up approximately 42% of all business owners in the U.S., on average, they start with about 50% less working capital and receive approximately 2% of all venture capital funding, with women of color founders receiving less than 1% of funding—we call this the Confidence Gap.
