For the second year, BOTOX Cosmetic will award 20 women entrepreneurs each with $25,000 grants, while providing them with critical resources like coaching, mentorship, and community to help elevate their businesses.
Launched in 2023, The BOTOX Cosmetic x IFundWomen partnership aims to extinguish the Confidence Gap, where women feel less self-assured in the workplace and beyond. A panel of healthcare provider-entrepreneurs will help to select the final grant recipients.
Female entrepreneurs across the country can apply for the BOTOX Cosmetic x IFundWomen grant at www.botoxcosmetic.com/realimpact. The deadline to apply is March 19, 2024.
In addition to receiving a $25,000 grant for her business, each entrepreneur will complete an immersive ten-week Crowdfunding Coaching Accelerator program, designed to instill not only education, but a sense of community within the group of women entrepreneurs. This program will provide mentoring from various experts on a range of business-focused topics and coaching to launch their individual crowdfunding campaigns. Recipients will also be provided with access to a range of educational and networking opportunities.
“We are committed to helping close the Confidence Gap through funding, mentorship, and community, and to help women achieve their dreams,” says Carrie Strom, President, Global Allergan Aesthetics and Senior Vice President, AbbVie, in a news release. “It’s proven that when women are supported and come together, they can achieve incredible things and overcome the Confidence Gap. We are so proud of last year’s recipients and the community they’ve built. We are grateful to learn from them and thrilled to continue this program into a second year with a new cohort of extraordinary women entrepreneurs.”
“As one of the 20 recipients of last year’s inaugural BOTOX Cosmetic grant program, I can attest to the immense impact it’s had not only on my business, but my life, which is why I’m so thrilled for the next group of women who are about to embark on this journey,” shares Talia Boone, founder, and CEO of Postal Petals. “Each of the program’s offerings helped to open new doors, whether it was the funding that supported our financial growth, the mentorship that further built my confidence as a business owner, or the sense of community that came from my fellow women entrepreneurs. I am forever grateful to this program for connecting me to a group of women entrepreneurs who together are helping to bridge the Confidence Gap. I look forward to getting to know this year’s grant recipients and building on BOTOX®Cosmetic’s mission to elevate women leaders of tomorrow, today.”
