Overview
About 160 fellows are selected each cohort. They get coaching from experts who have worked with successful founders, plus introductions to advisors and decision-makers. Applications opened on 22 September 2026 and close on 17 November 2026 at 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time.
The Tory Burch Foundation supports women entrepreneurs across the United States. Its Fellows Program picks a cohort of business owners who are already earning revenue and want to grow.
The foundation describes the support as coaching from experts who have advised some of the world’s most successful founders, guidance and resources, introductions to advisors and decision-makers, and recognition within the Fellows community. Fellows also receive a $2,000 grant for business education.
The foundation lists an Annual Founders Circle among its activities but does not describe it on the programme pages, so we have not counted it as a confirmed benefit.
What Will You Do?
Fellows work on growing their own business with the coaching and resources the programme provides. The host does not publish a session schedule or say whether activities are online or in person, so check the Fellowship Rules and FAQ before you apply.
Is the Tory Burch Fellows Program a good fit for you?
It suits women who already run a business with steady revenue and want expert advice and a peer network more than a large cash grant. If your company is pre-revenue or earns under $75,000 a year, it does not qualify yet.
Because only one entrepreneur per business can apply, co-founders should agree in advance who will submit. The applicant must be the woman with the largest or equal largest ownership stake and a real management role.
