Home > Breakthrough Grant Volume III: The Breakthrough Grant Returns With $5,000 For Women Entrepreneurs By Her Agenda Jan. 19 2026, Published 2:11 p.
m. ET Building on the incredible momentum of our previous cycles, The Breakthrough Grant is back for Volume III! As Her Agenda celebrates another year of bridging the gap between ambition and achievement, we are doubling down on our commitment to fuel the next wave of visionary women founders.
The Breakthrough Grant was born out of a simple, powerful realization: so many brilliant women are on the verge of greatness, yet are held back simply by a lack of capital. We are once again awarding $5,000 in funding to an ambitious woman entrepreneur who is on the brink of getting to the next level of her business.
“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,” says Rhonesha Byng, founder and CEO of Her Agenda. Reflecting on the grant’s independent roots, she adds, “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.
But no brand signed on. True to form, we did not let that stop us. 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.
