About the Grant
The Live Your Dream Awards provide monetary assistance to women who provide the primary source of financial support for their families. It is the cornerstone program of Soroptimist International of the Americas, LiveYourDream.org's sponsoring organization.
Each year, more than $3 million in education grants are awarded to over 2,300 women, many of whom have overcome enormous obstacles including poverty, domestic violence, the death of a spouse and/or substance abuse.
Notes
This grant program is primarily focused on education but they also issue multiple grants every year in support of women-owned small businesses. It is a fantastic organization.
