The Fund Her Future grant, presented by H&R Block in partnership with Hello Alice, puts real capital behind women business owners building companies that move their communities forward. Women are one of the fastest-growing groups of new small business owners, and face steeper odds getting the funding and support they need. That’s why H&R Block is doubling down on investing in female founders this year, selecting up to four women-owned businesses to receive a $50,000 Fund Her Future Grant. https://www.helloalice.com/opportunities/grants/h-r-block-fund-her-future-grant-2026
