Her Agenda Launches ‘The Breakthrough Grant’ To Support Women Entrepreneurs

Her Agenda is committed to helping women break through barriers in entrepreneurship and professional growth. In honor of our 17th anniversary, we are launching The Breakthrough Grant.

The grant will award $5,000 to one ambitious woman entrepreneur who is ready to break through barriers and take her business to the next level. 

“I launched the Breakthrough Grant because I know what it feels like to be on the edge of something great but held back by a lack of resources,” shared Rhonesha Byng, founder and CEO of Her Agenda.

“We originally wanted to launch this grant years ago in collaboration with a brand. As a small business, we’re not exactly sitting on extra funds that we can give out. On top of that, we envisioned being able to disperse a large grant amount. But no brand signed on. True to form, we did not let that stop us, and instead, we turned to our community to pour into this grant that helps offer the support needed to keep going and create their next opportunity.”

Her Agenda is fully funding the grant, alongside contributions from our readers and past POWER AGENDA women. Before applying, applicants must confirm their email subscription to the Her Agenda newsletter, where we share exclusive insights and opportunities for ambitious professionals. You must be subscribed to the Her Agenda newsletter to be considered. 

Applicants must be entrepreneurs who currently have an operating business. 

INSIDER members get 50% off the entry fee, one of many benefits of being part of our private community. Not an INSIDER yet? Join today and apply for the grant at the discounted rate.

Applications for The Breakthrough Grant are now open. Applications opened on May 17th, and the deadline is August 17th, 2025.
