WOMEN FOUNDERS: TORY BURCH FELLOWSHIP — $2,000 EDUCATION GRANT, FREE COACHING, AND A NATIONAL FOUNDER NETWORK. CLOSES NOV. 17

This one is for the women whose businesses are already MOVING — and who want a real network behind them.

The Tory Burch Foundation Fellows Program is a year-long fellowship built for women entrepreneurs who are past the starting line and ready to grow. About 160 Fellows are selected, and the deadline is coming fast: applications close Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

What It Is

Fellows get a full year of support: professional business coaching, high-touch workshops, an advisor network of senior executives and investors, a virtual resource library, a peer community of hundreds of women business owners, the annual Founders Circle — and a $2,000 education grant.

How Much

A $2,000 education grant, plus the full year of coaching, workshops, and network access. And applying is FREE — the Foundation states there is no application fee.

Who Qualifies

From the Foundation’s own FAQ:

• You are a woman entrepreneur, age 21 or older as of November 17, 2026, and a legal U.S. resident
• You own the largest (or equally largest) stake in the business, and the business is at least 51% owned and controlled by women
• Your business is for-profit, registered and operating in the U.S., D.C., or U.S. territories
• Your business must already be operating and revenue-generating — the Foundation’s guidance for this cycle is at least $75,000 in annual revenue
• One entrepreneur per business may apply
• Nonprofits and idea-stage businesses do NOT qualify for this program

How to Apply — Step by Step

1. Go to the official Fellows page: toryburchfoundation.org/fellows
2. Read the official FAQ and check your revenue and ownership against the rules
3. Complete the online application — a business plan is NOT required, but the Foundation says one helps them understand your vision
4. Submit before the deadline — incomplete applications are not valid
5. Fellows are selected in May 2027, after a winter review period

Deadline: November 17, 2026, at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Applications opened September 22, 2026 — if your business is doing $75,000 or more and you’re running it, this weekend is the time to get yours in.

Women founders — if you got picked, what would you do first with the coaching and the $2,000 grant: hire help, fix your marketing, or finally build that system your business needs?
