Donor: Liberté Foundation for Women in partnership with Addo Aesthetics
About: The Freedom in Action Grants program represents a groundbreaking funding initiative created through a strategic partnership between the Liberté Foundation for Women and Addo Aesthetics. This powerful collaboration offers five $10,000 grants specifically designed for female entrepreneurs in the beauty industry who are seeking to achieve true financial independence through business ownership.
Founded by Andrea Klein after her personal journey to freedom through entrepreneurship, the Liberté Foundation for Women stands as a beacon of hope for women seeking independence. After leaving a two-decade marriage and breaking free from patriarchal constraints, Klein established the foundation with a singular mission: to empower other women to achieve similar independence through successful business ownership. At its core, the foundation believes that women-owned businesses not only strengthen local economies but also provide women with the financial freedom and creative autonomy necessary to transform their lives and inspire future generations.
What truly distinguishes these grants is their no-repayment structure, eliminating the barriers that traditional business loans often create. The Freedom in Action Grants acknowledge a fundamental truth about female entrepreneurship: many women already possess the essential skills and vision to succeed but lack access to the capital needed to realize their potential. Recipients can allocate these funds toward various business investments, including:
• Professional staff development and training programs
• Advanced education and industry certifications
• State-of-the-art equipment and technology
• Strategic marketing and branding campaigns
• Operational improvements and business expansion
The impact of these grants has already transformed the trajectories of several female beauty entrepreneurs. Juvy Cabanilla, a dedicated single mother, and owner of Skincare Maui, leveraged her grant to acquire essential supplies and pursue advanced professional education that elevated her service offerings. Another notable recipient, Angela Moretti, owner of Brow Couture by Angela and mother of three, invested her funding in attending the prestigious Las Vegas Permanent Makeup Convention, where she expanded her professional network and enhanced her technical expertise through specialized training with industry leaders. These success stories vividly illustrate how strategic funding can serve as the catalyst for women-owned businesses in the competitive beauty sector.

The beauty industry presents unique challenges and opportunities for female entrepreneurs. While women make up the majority of beauty service providers, they often face significant barriers when attempting to establish and grow their own businesses. The Freedom in Action Grants directly address these challenges by providing:
1. Financial Empowerment: Capital without the burden of debt, allowing for bolder business decisions and innovation.
2. Industry Advancement: Resources to stay current with rapidly evolving beauty technologies, techniques, and trends.
3. Community Impact: Support for creating businesses that not only succeed financially but also positively influence their communities.
4. Generational Change: Opportunities to establish successful business models that inspire future female entrepreneurs, including the next generation.
If you’re a woman building your future in the beauty industry – whether as a salon owner, skincare specialist, makeup artist, or any related field – these grants represent a rare opportunity to access substantial funding without the constraints of traditional financing. Female entrepreneurs who have secured similar grants consistently report that unrestricted funding served as the critical turning point in their business journey.
