About the FIERCE Foundation

To equip women and children with resourceful resilience and fuel generational self-sufficiency—through mentorship, entrepreneurial spirit, and community.
OUR PROGRAMS
Programs that create access, confidence, and opportunity.
FIERCE Foundation programs are designed to give women and youth practical support, real opportunity, and community-backed encouragement. Each program helps build resilience, resourcefulness, confidence, and momentum in a different way.
A scholarship-funded 20-week cohort for women rebuilding capacity, clarity, and confidence. Through mentoring, live support, and community, Together We Rise helps women gain steadier ground, stronger self-trust, and support as they take meaningful steps toward their future.
A local youth entrepreneurship fair where young people create, market, and sell their own products in a real marketplace. Hosted through the Acton Children’s Business Fair platform and supported by the FIERCE Foundation, Acton Midwest, sponsors, and volunteers, Kidz Biz Fair gives young entrepreneurs the chance to use what they have, test ideas, and grow in confidence.
A community-powered pilot that turns donated and sourced items into flexible income opportunities and support for the FIERCE Foundation mission. FIERCE Finds helps women build resourcefulness, practice digital selling skills, and turn small opportunities into real movement.
IMPACT
From resilience to real momentum.
Every scholarship funded, every youth booth sponsored, and every act of generosity helps create real movement. The impact grows when women gain support, youth practice entrepreneurship, and whole communities choose to invest in what is possible.
65+ women launched businesses or side hustles.

Community support continues to expand access, scholarships, and opportunity.
