For Women Building Boldly in Business and Creativity

You don’t need to go viral to be worthy. You don’t need to over-explain your struggle to be seen. The This Woman Knows Grant exists to affirm women who are doing the work of building something meaningful.

The next application round opens September 1, 2025!

APPLY NOW!

Behind every powerful vision is the need for resources to bring it to life. That’s why we created the This Woman Knows Grant—to support women who are rebuilding, starting over, or taking bold steps in business or creativity. Whether you’re launching something new or sustaining what you’ve built, this microgrant is for you.

What We’re Offering

We’re awarding one $500 grant to a U.S.-based woman who is:

  • Starting or growing a business or nonprofit, or
  • Pursuing a creative path(artists, musicians, etc.)

You don’t need to share your trauma or hardship to qualify. Just tell us what you’re building and how this grant will help.

Eligibility & Terms

  • Open to all women based in the U.S.—this includes cisgender, transgender, and all women-identifying individuals.
  • You must be 18 years of age or older at the time of application.
  • Only one grant will be awarded per applicant.
  • Nonprofits are eligible to apply.
  • This microgrant is intended to support meaningful work—whether you’re launching, rebuilding, or sustaining a business or creative endeavor.
  • We don’t require hardship stories. Just clarity of vision and purpose.
  • Applications without the required $15 fee will not be reviewed or considered.
  • Finalists who do not respond by the required date forfeit their award.

The Exchange

This grant isn’t just a gift—it’s a partnership. If selected, recipients agree to contribute something back to This Woman Knows—this could be:

  • A short blog or social post
  • A behind-the-scenes video
  • A creative share that celebrates your win and encourages others

This isn’t busywork. It’s visibility. It’s your light inspiring the next woman to rise.

Why Microgrants Matter

Like microloans, microgrants are small but mighty. A few hundred dollars can pay for coaching, equipment, childcare, software, inventory—whatever helps you move forward.

It’s not just about money. It’s about belief. It’s about being seen.

“We see you. We believe in your vision. You are worthy of this.”
