Glossier Opens 2023 Grant Program for Black-Owned Beauty Businesses

Glossier has opened the application period for its third Grant Program for Black-Owned Beauty Businesses, committing $300,000 towards six businesses along with a four-month long curriculum of curated business programming as part of the beauty brand’s continued investment in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Applications are open through April 11th.

The program will provide financial support by way of grant money, access to Glossier's expertise in areas relevant for the specific grantee such as supply chain or product development, and exclusive access to Glossier's network including VCs, c-suite executives and past grantees. Each company will receive $50,000.

Since the Grant Program's inception in 2020, Glossier has partnered with more than 26 beauty brands, including Range Beauty, Young King, and Luna Magic, which appeared on Shark Tank, as well as Skimdo, which won an Allure Best of Beauty Award. Grantees have also gone on to national retail distribution such as Golde and Eadem, according to Glossier.

Applicants must be beauty brands with physical beauty products (not service providers, salons or spas) seeking support and resources and are available to actively participate in four months of programming.
