THE HELEN GURLEY BROWN FOUNDATION
About this foundation
The Helen Gurley Brown Foundation (est. 2010 as The Pussycat Foundation) supports programs across three program areas: Empowering Youth, Empowering Women, and Empowering Innovation. The site says the Foundation funds both individuals and programmatic partners and highlights deep, co-created partnerships with grantees. It operates program hubs (BridgeUP, BOLD, Genius Grants) and publishes past grantees and program stories. The site explicitly states it does not accept unsolicited grant applications.
