Designed to support entrepreneurs in systemically marginalized groups, The TRANSFORM Business Grant provides a $1,000 microgrant and a customized, year-long business strategy and development program to each grantee. TRANSFORM is actively anticapitalist and antiracist, continually working to identify and dismantle oppressive systems of power.
Funding shouldn’t be the reason you sacrifice your business idea or your professional development. We offer growth-focused wealth redistribution grants of $1,000 to anticapitalist businesses led by social impact focused individuals.
In addition to funding, grantees participate in a customized year-long growth-based mentorship program, which includes access to pro bono services from a roster of experts in branding, coaching, skill-based learning, marketing, and more. The TRANSFORM Business Grant is designed to support individuals in systemically marginalized groups who are making social impact and demonstrate financial need.
This includes, but is not limited to, BIPOC individuals, individuals who have a disability, formerly incarcerated individuals, and queer, trans, and nonbinary folks. The TRANSFORM Business Grant is currently only open to applicants in the United States, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Individuals and teams/groups located in the United States, regardless of immigration status, are welcome to apply.
Preference is giving to individuals who demonstrate financial need, which we define as not being able to get the things you need with the resources that you have. We understand that financial need is going to look different for everyone. This grant does not fund political organizations or activities, religious organizations for religious purposes, or student loans or other debt payments.

Heather Gerken presents a revamped Ford Foundation strategy to trustees this fall. In January, staff split into three units — one refining the new strategy, one maintaining current grants, and one designing tie-off funding for grantees who are not in Ford's future.

Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now. Here is what that means for institutions, foundations, and state higher-ed agencies.
