Focus: Supporting the woman behind the business.
The SheFunds Founder-Focused Funding Program is a grant-based initiative designed to support the well-being, stability, and capacity of women entrepreneurs. This program recognises that the health and resilience of the founder directly influence the success and sustainability of the business.
Unlike traditional funding models that focus solely on the business entity, this program intentionally targets the female founder. Funding may support personal stability, health and well-being needs, rest and recovery, learning, childcare support, or critical life expenses that often impact a woman’s ability to lead and grow her business effectively.
SheFunds believes that when women founders are supported holistically, their businesses benefit from stronger leadership, clarity, and long-term resilience.
