That spirit drives the mission of the <strong>Boundless Futures Foundation<\/strong>, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women founders in the earliest stages of their business journeys. On this brand new episode of <strong>GrantTalk<\/strong>, host <strong>Libby Hikind<\/strong>, founder and CEO of <strong>GrantWatch<\/strong>, speaks with <strong>Soon Hagerty<\/strong>, co-founder and president of the Boundless Futures Foundation, to explore how lived experience, mentorship, and grant funding combine to create lasting impact for women-led businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soon Hagerty: From Immigrant Roots to Entrepreneurial Drive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boundless Futures Foundation reflects a lifelong commitment to entrepreneurship shaped by Soon Haggerty\u2019s family history. Raised in an immigrant household where self-employment created opportunity, Haggerty learned early that building a business could provide both stability and purpose. Her upbringing instilled a strong work ethic and reinforced the value of initiative, adaptability, and long-term vision. Those lessons now guide her leadership as co-founder and president of her foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boundless Futures Foundation<strong> <\/strong>Mission Focuses on Women Founders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2023, the Boundless Futures Foundation supports female entrepreneurs within their first three years of operation. The organization awards grants ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 to individual founders and also provides funding to aligned nonprofits. Each grant prioritizes businesses that integrate community impact into their model, whether through social good, environmental responsibility, or direct charitable giving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Funding + Mentorship = Lasting Impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boundless Futures extends support beyond funding. Grant recipients gain one year of access to an Advisory Circle composed of experienced women entrepreneurs with expertise in finance, marketing, branding, scaling, and operations. This model allows founders to receive guidance when decisions matter most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advisors review profit and loss statements, assess key performance metrics, refine product positioning, and support sustainable growth strategies. This hands-on mentorship helps founders avoid common early-stage missteps and accelerates long-term success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Addressing Unique Challenges for Women Entrepreneurs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Women founders often balance business leadership with family responsibilities, community expectations, and internal pressure to excel in every role. Boundless Futures recognizes these realities and builds support systems that address both professional and personal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connection, reassurance, and shared experience play a critical role in founder confidence. Many entrepreneurs benefit as much from mentorship and validation as from financial capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlighting Innovative Grant-Funded Businesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation supports businesses that address real-world problems through innovation. Funded projects include mobile refill services that reduce plastic waste, washing machine devices that capture microplastics, and food companies that transform upcycled ingredients into allergen-free products. These ventures demonstrate how mission-driven businesses can reduce waste, improve health outcomes, and strengthen communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each grant amplifies ideas that might otherwise struggle to gain early traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How GrantWatch Supports Women-Led Businesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding the right grant opportunities remains a critical step for women entrepreneurs. GrantWatch helps founders identify grants that align with their business goals, stage of growth, and mission. With thousands of updated listings and clear eligibility criteria, GrantWatch simplifies the grant search process and supports entrepreneurs seeking funding with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn More and Get Involved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Women entrepreneurs interested in mission-driven funding and mentorship can explore opportunities with the Boundless Futures Foundation and discover additional grant resources through <strong>GrantWatch<\/strong>.
