ABOUT BANKHER
BankHER is more than a grant program—it’s a funding movement built by people who believe in the power of women entrepreneurs.
Created by Her Texas, BankHER brings individuals together in giving circles to fund women-owned businesses through no-strings-attached grants issued every quarter. Each circle sets its own goal and decides which business to support—no pitches, no gatekeepers.
This model is about shifting power, closing the capital gap, and proving that real investment can come from everyday people, not just traditional institutions.
We’re starting in Texas—but our goal is national. One circle at a time. One grant at a time. One woman at a time.
"If you want to lift up humanity, empower women. It is the most comprehensive, pervasive, high‑leverage investment you can make in human beings.."
