The BasBlue Foundation
Empowering women now and always.
BasBlue is dedicated to amplifying opportunities for those who identify as women and nonbinary. One way we make a difference is through our impact programs, which include fellowships, funding opportunities, mentorship, and scholarships that provide our rising leaders with hands-on support.

How We Contribute
Our Impact Programs
Zero-to-One Entrepreneurial Fellowship
BasBlue’s Zero-to-One Entrepreneurial Fellowship program supports emerging entrepreneurs who are looking to build, launch and scale a new business but are statistically less likely to receive support through mainstream channels. BasBlue provides each cohort of Fellows with tailored business coaching, 1:1 mentorship, funding, and community to take their ideas to the next level.
Trailblazer-in-Residence Scholarship
BasBlue’s Trailblazer-in-Residence scholarship program breaks down barriers to access within our community by sponsoring up to 125 BasBlue memberships each year. Scholarships are awarded to unique voices and innovative thinkers who are paving new paths and building businesses within their community, with need in mind.
Founders + Fund(Her)s
Pitch Day
Founders & Fund(Her)s matches early-stage business founders with the resources they need to launch. During each session, a cohort of founders are provided start-up coaching and then brought together with a panel of local angel investors, serial entrepreneurs, and business leaders to receive constructive feedback, networking access, and start-up investments.
Art of BasBlue
The Art of BasBlue amplifies underrepresented voices in the art world. We collaborate with local organizations, galleries, and universities to provide exhibition spaces and public programs that highlight local artists, expanding their audience and underscoring their achievements.
