10+ Grants You Can Apply for in June 2025

Say YES to Free Money Before Month-End Deadlines Sneak Up

Let’s cut to the chase: If you’re still trying to fund your dream entirely out of your own bank account, you're doing it the hard way.

There’s free money sitting out there with your name on it. Not a loan. Not a VC deal. Not a weird aunt offering you “business advice” and a $200 check.

We're talking grants.

Grants for women. Grants for small businesses. Grants that don't care if you just launched a Shopify site yesterday.

So here it is: your June permission slip to pause the scroll and go get funded.

Add a Grant Day to Your Calendar

Use my favorite founder ritual: Finance Friday or CEO Money Monday.

Pick one hour. Light a candle. Queue your playlist.

Then—apply, apply, apply.

Why? Because doing it all by yourself doesn’t make you a badass. Getting smart about funding does.

Say YES to free money.

Say YES to the support your business deserves.

Say YES to being the BFD you already are.
