Grants that Empower Women and Girls!

We need to empower women and girls with the resources they need to thrive! Whether it’s mothers and daughters breaking barriers together, female athletes excelling in their sports, or women entrepreneurs building their dreams, grants are here to fuel their success. From education and training to job opportunities and overcoming financial obstacles, these essential funding sources provide the support that paves the way for growth. Grants also foster artistic expression, life skills, and leadership, helping women and girls build the skills and confidence they need to succeed in every area of life.

GrantWatch is a national database that houses almost 9,000 active federal and foundation grant opportunities for nonprofits, businesses, and individuals. As a woman-led business, we understand the importance of lending support to women and girls at every stage of their journey. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated grant category for women featuring nearly 400 grants. These active grant opportunities are designed to empower and uplift women and girls to learn and grow into the entrepreneurs, leaders, and change-makers they were meant to be.

“Every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another. We’re strongest when we cheer each other on.” ― Serena Williams
