The Ready Empowerment Program™ Grant
Supporting Women Through Sustainable Mental Health Programs
A proven, partnership-based grant that expands access to free mental health care and empowerment programs for women in underserved communities.
What the Ready Empowerment Program Grant Is
The Ready Empowerment Program Grant is a collaborative partnership designed to help women-focused organizations launch or strengthen mental health and empowerment services within their communities.
Rather than funding isolated services, the grant supports organizations in implementing a complete, structured program model — the Ready Empowerment Program — with the training, guidance, and resources needed for long-term success.
Why This Grant Exists
Across the world, women face significant barriers to accessing mental health care — from cost and stigma to lack of local services. Without support, these challenges ripple outward, affecting families, children, and entire communities.
Ready to Empower created the Ready Empowerment Program Grant to address this gap by partnering with trusted, women-focused organizations and equipping them to deliver high-quality, trauma-informed mental health care at no cost to participants.
“I wake up wanting to live, I am a completely new person”
“The Ready Empowerment Program’s mental health support helped me find meaning in life. I can face difficulties in life and can now focus on learning new skills like sewing and pursuing my dreams of running my business. This program changed my life and I am extremely grateful for that.”
