The Alexandra Cristin Foundation’s 2nd Anniversary business grant cycle is set to open on International Women’s Day, exactly one year after our inaugural cycle in March 2021. This cycle will further the ACF’s goal of empowering entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds by giving a total of $50,000 to 25 entrepreneurs ($2K/recipient). A subset of grants will be given to 6 salon owners or stylists who will receive the Priscilla Valles Master Education Partnership; valued at $5K.

Our 2021 cycle focused on supporting applicants who had been particularly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, this second cycle will support entrepreneurs - regardless of where they are on their entrepreneurial journey, from 'established' to 'aspiring' - by funding their professional development expenses.

The smaller scale of this cycle will allow recipients to be selected more quickly, and allow the foundation to repeat giving throughout the year.
