The Alliance for Gender Equality in Europe 5.0 Dream Fund is here to offer invaluable support to women of colour-led organisations based in the UK, providing funding, development opportunities, and networking to help scale social impact projects.
This round of the Dream Fund offers grants of £2.5K and £5K to help women of colour-led organisations further their entrepreneurial and social impact initiatives. In addition to the financial support, successful applicants will benefit from a one-day capacity-building masterclass, which will take place in-person, designed to enhance professional development. Networking opportunities will also be provided, allowing participants to connect with like-minded founders who share similar goals and values. As part of the leadership development offered, participants will gain crucial insights on how to navigate the entrepreneurial journey, empowering them with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed. Furthermore, each participant will receive a professional headshot and a spotlight video that showcases their work and personal story, enhancing their visibility and impact.
The Dream Fund is open to women of colour between the ages of 18 and 35, who lead a UK-based organisation, whether registered or unregistered, with a focus on social impact and entrepreneurship. If your project has a social purpose and aligns with the mission of creating meaningful change in your community or beyond, this opportunity may be the perfect catalyst to take your work to the next level.
The opportunity provides not only funding but also invaluable professional development, giving applicants a chance to sharpen their leadership and entrepreneurial skills. By fostering an environment of learning and collaboration, the Dream Fund seeks to help women of colour-led organisations thrive and scale their impact.
