Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $500
Summary
This grant opportunity centers around a small micro‑grant program that aims to empower women of African and Caribbean descent who are pursuing entrepreneurial, creative, or nonprofit endeavors. The program offers multiple micro grants of around $500 USD each to support individuals who are building or growing projects that have a positive impact on culture and community. The opportunity is open to eligible entrepreneurs, nonprofit founders, and creatives no matter where they are based globally, so long as they meet the demographic focus and demonstrate community‑oriented impact.
The funding is designed to provide quick, accessible financial boosts rather than long‑term operational funding. Recipients may use the micro‑grant to cover early project expenses, creative development costs, promotional materials, community activities, or other small‑scale needs that help bring an idea to life or strengthen an existing effort. The intent of the funding is to reduce financial barriers for people in underrepresented groups who might otherwise struggle to secure traditional business or project support. The awards are modest but intended to be meaningful for early stages of work or pilot activities.
Eligibility focuses specifically on women of African or Caribbean heritage who are engaged in mission‑driven activities, creating value for their communities through entrepreneurship, nonprofit initiatives, or creative expression. This opportunity is not structured for large established organizations or general business applicants, and individuals are the primary eligible recipients. The grant cycle runs with a defined application period, and interested applicants are encouraged to follow updates about openings and next rounds of giving.
Overall, the micro‑grant aims to celebrate and support cultural and community leadership by providing small amounts of funding that help applicants take tangible steps toward their goals, connect with broader networks, and increase their impact in meaningful ways.
