The Gap:

Women of color entrepreneurs make an average of $47k in annual revenues (Caucasian women make $100-$140k) and fewer than 1% reach $1 million in annual revenue.

Founders from underrepresented communities — including women of color, veterans, and women with disabilities — are starting businesses at record rates, yet face steep challenges in accessing capital and support. The average annual revenue for women of color entrepreneurs is just $47K, compared to $100–$140K for their white counterparts. Fewer than 1% break the $1M mark.

The Million Dollar Women Fund is helping underrepresented founders scale up through access to training, mentorship, networks, and capital — and we’re building a more inclusive economy while we do it. Since 2017, we’ve supported over 180 founders through scholarships, provided in partnership with trusted community organizations.

You can help us reach even more — with a gift of $25, $50, $100, $250 or any amount that’s meaningful to you. Every donation makes a real impact and is tax-deductible.
