New York, NY – March 8, 2023 – In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, the Enthuse Foundation, a non-profit organization benefiting women entrepreneurs, announced its 2023 Grant Program, which will distribute $22,500 to deserving founders.

“There are more women business owners than ever before at different stages of their entrepreneurial journey,” said Kim Lawton, Co-Founder of the Enthuse Foundation and CEO at Enthuse Marketing. “We want to be able to support as many women founders as possible. Thanks to our generous corporate partners, we increased our grant offerings from six to nine this year. Most of our original partners have doubled down on their commitment, and we’ve been able to add additional sponsors including the winner of our 2021 Pitch Competition, B.T.R. Nation. The Enthuse Foundation is built on our community and this program speaks to that.”

The Enthuse Foundation’s Grant Program addresses the unique challenges women entrepreneurs face, such as access to childcare, lack of mentorship, and funding for healthcare and business tools.

• Business Tools sponsored by Webster Bank
