Grant for women founders
Fund Her Future is an annual grant program from Block Advisors by H&R Block supporting women-owned small businesses. Each year the program awards $100,000 in total grants — one $50,000 grant and five $10,000 grants — to six women-owned businesses, along with one year of complimentary Block Advisors small-business services (bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and business formation assistance). The 2025 program (the second annual cycle) drew more than 8,000 applicants, a 30% increase over the prior year. Eligible applicants are US-based, women-owned businesses; secondary sources cite a minimum of roughly $20,000 in prior-year revenue. The program is a confirmed recurring annual initiative.

Complete and submit the application
Describe your business, your impact, and how a grant would help you grow and 'drive change.' With 8,000+ applicants, a specific and authentic story stands out.
~1.5 hrs
Only six grants are awarded from 8,000+ applicants, so the odds resemble a high-profile national contest — but the bundled year of free Block Advisors services (bookkeeping, payroll, tax, formation) is real value that most applicants undervalue. Frame your application around growth and measurable impact ('support growth, drive change' is the program's own language), and apply early in the cycle; the program's submissions jumped 30% year over year, so volume is rising.
Deadline & timing
Recurring annual cycle. The second annual cohort was announced in August 2025; applications generally open in the months prior (summer cycle). Specific 2026 application dates were not yet published at time of research, so deadlineDate is null.
