Details:
TRANSFORM is actively anticapitalistic and antiracist, continually working to identify and dismantle oppressive systems of power. Funding shouldn’t be the reason you sacrifice your business idea or your professional development.
Transform offers growth-focused micro-grants up to $1,000 to social impact focused individuals looking to grow their own business or business acumen. In addition to funding, grantees are provided a customized year-long growth-based program, which includes access to pro bono services from a roster of experts in branding, coaching, skill-based learning, marketing, website development, blogging, and more.
The TRANSFORM Business Grant supports:
- Individuals in systemically oppressed groups including, but is not limited to, BIPOC individuals, individuals who have a disability, formerly incarcerated individuals, and queer, trans, and nonbinary folks.
- Those in financial need. What does financial need mean? First off, they’re not going to ask for your bank statements and you don’t have to show any proof of your struggles (that goes against the values). Transform defines financial need as not being able to get the things you need with the resources you have. Transform knows financial need is going to look different for everyone. Transform trusts you will be able to share with them about your individual need in your application.
- Businesses or business ideas aligned with TRANSFORM’s values, including centering antiracism and anticapitalism in how your business operates and in the impact you are making in your community or the world.
- Social impact driven business or business ideas. Transform wants to see and understand how your business positively affects your community or the world. What social injustices are you challenging?
At this time, The TRANSFORM Business Grant is only open to applicants in the United States, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Individuals and teams/groups are welcome to apply.
