$50K In Funding for Women Entrepreneurs (here’s how to apply)

Have you ever felt “unfundable” in your business? Like the grants, loans, and opportunities out there weren’t really designed for you?

If so—you need to hear this week’s episode of This Mother Means Business.

I sat down with my friend Erin Sisko, founder of The Elleiance Network and creator of the Capital Elle Business Impact Award. This award is designed to change the narrative around women and funding by offering $50,000 in cash and business services to Canadian women entrepreneurs in industries that are so often overlooked—social impact, creative, and service-based businesses.

In this conversation, Erin and I talk about:

✨ Why women are often left out of traditional funding structures

✨ The myth of women being “risk-averse”

✨ Why access and networks are just as important as capital

✨ How past winners have used their funds to grow and scale

The best part? The application takes just 10–15 minutes to complete, and it’s free to apply.

If you’ve ever thought, funding isn’t for people like me—I hope this episode helps you see just how much opportunity is out there. And who knows? You might just be this year’s winner.
