WomanKind Creative Grant 2026: $15,000 Branding Support for Startups

Application Deadline: November 1, 2026.

Applications are now open for the WomanKind Creative Grant, a 6-week design partnership for early-stage women’s health startups. The application deadline is November 1, 2026.

Each selected company receives $15,000 in brand strategy and design support, fully donated by the design studio Alfa Charlie. This is an in-kind grant, so you receive services rather than cash.

For African founders building femtech and women’s health ventures, this is a chance to get a professional brand that helps you win customers, partners and investors. Global founders can apply, provided they can attend meetings during Pacific Time business hours.

About the WomanKind Creative Grant

WomanKind created the grant to help early-stage companies in women’s health grow their impact through strong branding and design. The program is sponsored by Alfa Charlie and has supported a range of femtech startups. It helps them clarify their vision and communicate better with their audiences.

WomanKind is especially interested in bold thinkers and changemakers who are reimagining the future of women’s health. It focuses on early-stage and Series A startups at pivotal moments in their development.

What the 6-Week Partnership Includes

Each recipient receives:

• A brand strategy workshop
• A full visual brand identity system
• Collateral design for key assets, such as pitch decks and packaging
• Three quarterly check-ins as the brand evolves

Benefits of the Grant

• $15,000 in design support: Fully donated by Alfa Charlie.
• Brand strategy workshop: Define your vision, positioning and message.
• Complete visual identity: Get a full brand system, not just a logo.
• Pitch deck and packaging design: Strengthen the materials investors and customers see first.
• Ongoing support: Three quarterly check-ins help your brand grow with you.
• Global access: Founders from any country can apply.

Eligibility Requirements

The grant is open to:

• Startups innovating in women’s health
• Companies led by cisgender, transgender and non-binary founders
• Founders from anywhere in the world

All stages are welcome, but the program suits early-stage and Series A companies that are ready for a full rebrand and want to make a significant impact in the sector.

You must also be able to join meetings during standard Pacific Time business hours. Nigerian and other West African founders should check how that schedule fits their time zone, since Pacific Time is several hours behind.
