Tell us about your business:
The Founder Wellbeing Project aims to normalise conversations around mental health and wellbeing for women in business. We're tired of just seeing the Instagram highlights; instead, we share real stories of the challenges women face behind the scenes of running a business. Think of it as Humans of New York meets female business owners. The Founder Wellbeing Project is currently funded by my other business, Suzanne Rose Marketing, where I love to help impact-led business owners grow with stunning WordPress websites and email marketing flows that nurture and convert.
How would $5k or $10k enable you to create more profit and impact in your business?
This grant would enable me to reach more women in business, share their stories and help them feel less alone during the challenging times of running a business.
It will also enable me to provide more content and resources for women in business who are struggling with their mental health.
Lastly, a podcast has often been suggested as a great additional way to share our stories which are currently only in written format. A podcast could also allow me to monetize this project while still keeping it accessible to those who need it.
Please outline what you would spend the grant on:
- This grant would cover membership fees for female entrepreneur communities, helping me connect with more women, introduce them to The Founder Wellbeing Project, and share their stories.
- Fund marketing to reach more women and increase the project's impact.
- Invest in podcast equipment and editing support.
- Support hosting more events such as wellbeing walks and workshops
- Additionally, it could support advertising for Suzanne Rose Marketing, helping secure more email marketing clients on monthly retainers. This would free up the time I currently spend on business development, allowing me to dedicate more focus to The Founder Wellbeing Project.
