The **2025 Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) Philippines** is a grant opportunity from the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines aimed at empowering women entrepreneurs.

AWE, established by the U.S. Department of State in 2019, has supported approximately 25,000 women across 80+ countries and aligns with the U.S. National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality.
AWE follows a hybrid model, combining the online **DreamBuilder** platform (developed by Arizona State University’s Thunderbird School of Global Management and Freeport-McMoRan) with in-person mentorship sessions. Participants engage in core business training, interact with experienced mentors and U.S. Exchange Alumni, and take part in networking events such as pitch competitions and trade fairs.

A calendar outlining all activities across the **12-month performance period** is required. - Outline a **detailed recruitment plan**, identifying women who can create a ripple effect in their communities. - Recruit **at least two qualified facilitators per cohort** and define their qualifications. - Engage **past AWE graduates** as mentors to showcase the impact of the program. - Establish **partnerships** with **local government units, universities, chambers of commerce**, and other key stakeholders. - Implement a **monitoring & evaluation framework** with clear performance metrics, data collection methods, and reporting processes.
