About
Eileen Fisher provides grants up to $100,000 to women-owned businesses that are beyond the idea stage and creating positive social and environmental change. Focus areas include sustainability, women's empowerment, and environmental justice.
The Eileen Fisher Women-Owned Business Grant is designed for women entrepreneurs who have moved beyond the startup phase and are building sustainable, purpose-driven businesses. This grant program awards between $10,000 and $100,000 to women-owned businesses (51% or more owned by women) that have been operating for at least three years with annual revenue under $1 million. The program specifically seeks businesses creating positive social and environmental change, with a focus on sustainability, women's empowerment, and environmental justice. If you're running a women-owned business that prioritizes social or environmental impact alongside profitability, this grant can provide significant capital to scale operations, invest in sustainable practices, or expand your mission-driven work. The grant recognizes that women entrepreneurs often face unique challenges in accessing funding, and it prioritizes supporting businesses that align with Eileen Fisher's values of equity and environmental responsibility. This is an excellent opportunity for established women business owners looking to accelerate growth while maintaining their commitment to positive change.
