In a bold move to break down financial barriers for underrepresented entrepreneurs, FundHerShip has launched a groundbreaking initiative offering £10,000 monthly grants to Black and Brown women across the UK. The mission is clear: access to capital should never stand in the way of ambition, innovation, or success.
The programme is designed to tackle a well-documented problem, systemic inequities in business funding. Despite being one of the fastest-growing groups of entrepreneurs, Black and Brown women often face limited access to traditional finance options, from bank loans to venture capital. FundHerShip aims to close that gap, giving women the resources to turn ideas into sustainable ventures without being held back by the weight of debt or the demands of investors.
Each month, one deserving recipient will be awarded a £10,000 no-strings-attached grant to invest directly into their business. The application process is intentionally straightforward, focusing on potential and vision rather than existing revenue or prior investment. This ensures that both early-stage start-ups and established ventures have a fair shot at receiving the support they need.
Beyond the money, FundHerShip is committed to creating a community of mentorship, networking, and skill-building. Grant winners gain access to an ecosystem of experts, workshops, and peer connections to help navigate challenges and scale sustainably.
The message from FundHerShip is loud and clear: the ability to access capital should be based on talent and drive, not background, ethnicity, or existing wealth. By injecting £120,000 a year directly into the hands of visionary women, the initiative is paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable business landscape in the UK.
For aspiring applicants, the opportunity is more than financial, it’s a statement of trust, belief, and empowerment. With FundHerShip, it’s not just about funding dreams; it’s about dismantling barriers and building a future where every woman’s potential can thrive.
