    About Boundless Futures Foundation C/O Jessica Sullivan

    Boundless Futures Foundation c/o Jessica Sullivan centers grantmaking on women founders who use business as a vehicle for social impact, combining direct funding with mentorship through an Advisory Circle. The foundation’s annual programs include quarterly EmpowHer Grants for female founders and mission-aligned nonprofits, plus a Her Village grant aimed at 501(c)(3) organizations that support women entrepreneurs through education, mentorship, financing, and related programming. Recent awards show support for both for-profit ventures and nonprofit intermediaries, with grants used for startup costs, product development, legal services, marketing, training, and cohort scholarships. The largest recent grants were $30,000 awards to Center for Women & Enterprise Inc. and Traverse Connect Foundation, each tied to entrepreneurship programming for women. Another $30,000 grant went to The Women’s Impact Alliance for scholarship funding for female social entrepreneurs. The pattern suggests a funder that backs early-stage business formation as well as the organizations that build the pipeline around it. Their portfolio also includes support for business owners in specific service areas, such as Venture North Funding & Development, and for cohort-based learning through the Women’s Leadership Cohort, Women’s Leadership Roundtable, and Community Mentoring Program.

    What Boundless Futures Foundation C/O Jessica Sullivan Funds

    Women’s entrepreneurship appears in both nonprofit and direct-business grants. The foundation gave $30,000 to The Women’s Impact Alliance for scholarship funding for female social entrepreneurs, and $25,000 to Women’s Business Development Center for Plan for Profit Bootcamp(s) and Plan for Profit Program(s). Those awards point to support for education, cohort learning, and business formation. Operational startup needs are another clear theme. Recipients such as Spacers Inc received $20,000 for business formation, product development, and inventory, while Evie Co LLC received $25,000 for contractor fees and packaging. Other awards covered legal and professional services, website development, branding, and supply-chain related costs. The foundation also funds community-facing and mission-aligned work. Traverse Connect Foundation received $30,000 for scholarships for women in leadership and mentoring programs, and Venture North Funding & Development received $25,000 for business support and mentorship for female business owners in its service area.

    How Boundless Futures Foundation C/O Jessica Sullivan Gives

    Recent grants cluster around $20,000 to $25,000, with a median grant size of $20,000 and a 25th percentile of $20,000 and 75th percentile of $25,000. The largest documented awards reached $30,000, but most grants sit in a narrower band that fits early-stage operating and program costs. The foundation gives to both individuals and organizations, including nonprofits and for-profit ventures. Its active programs show a mixed structure: quarterly EmpowHer Grants are open to female founders and mission-aligned nonprofits, while Her Village Grants support a single partner organization each year. EmpowHer Grants accept unsolicited applications.
