About The Big Idea Grant for San Jacinto & Hemet Businesses

The Big Idea Grant was designed to help women across the U.S. bring their business ideas to life. But it’s not just about handing out funds—it’s about encouragement, resources, and giving passionate women the chance to take that next big step with confidence.

It all started with a Big Idea to empower women entrepreneurs—one rooted in a desire to uplift women who are ready to turn their dreams into real, thriving businesses. From the beginning, the focus has been on more than just funding—it’s about providing the mentorship and community support needed to truly grow.

Each month, one woman entrepreneur age 18 or older receives a $1,000 grant to use toward starting, marketing, or growing her business. You choose how to use the money—whether for startup costs, operations, or outreach—whatever helps take your idea to the next level.

On top of that, bonus gifts and gift cards are awarded each month to a few additional founders—because sometimes, a small win can make a big difference.

Who It’s For

This grant is designed for women entrepreneurs aged 18 and over in the United States who have a compelling business idea or are looking to grow their existing venture.

  • Women entrepreneurs, 18 years or older
  • Based in the United States
  • Aspiring or current business owners with a clear vision and passion

What It Is
