Not every founder starts with investors, family money, or a safety net — and that’s exactly who this grant was made for.
The No Trust Fund Grant is OVIDIA.’s signature $1,000 monthly award created to support women of color founders who are building from the ground up. Each month, our team reviews active INSIDER members and selects one founder whose story and progress reflect creativity, consistency, and real impact.
There’s no pitch deck or long application — just a quick eligibility check and an active INSIDER membership. We review and select the next month’s recipient during the third week of the current month, and announce the winner in the first week of the following month.
This isn’t charity. It’s recognition — for the builders doing it without a trust fund, but with unstoppable vision.
