Our programs

There are still too many institutional barriers facing female founders and entrepreneurs. Dannon^® Light + Fit^® wants more women-owned businesses and more female leaders in the workplace. That’s why we’re funding grants for female-founded business owners to go after what they crave. We are also inspiring change through art with bold, limited-edition packaging designs created by female artists that spotlight women and their strength. And, we have continued partnerships with dietitians who are dedicated to female-focused health & wellness projects within their communities.

Dannon Light + Fit and Female Founder Collective (FFC) believe that women entrepreneurs should feel empowered to go after what they crave in life and in business.

Together, we are introducing a new funding and growth opportunity for female founders: a grant program that will select five entrepreneurs who will each receive:

$10,000 award
One (1) year membership to
FFC’s 10th House
One (1) hour of mentorship through The NORTH, FFC’s Advisory Platform

There are over 13 million
women-owned businesses in the
U.S.,
but women continue to face
institutional barriers related to
gender bias and funding¹
46%

Of female entrepreneurs faced gender bias when raising
capital for their business²
just 2%

In 2023, companies founded solely by women received
just 2% of the total capital invested in venture-backed startups in the U.S.³

ART THAT INSPIRES + EMPOWERS

Our mission at Light + Fit goes beyond delicious and craveworthy flavors. We’re dedicated to empowering female entrepreneurs and artists, so we are collaborating with artists to inspire women to crave more.

As part of our ongoing artist series, we are dedicated to giving female artists a platform to share their vision and voice to empower women.

To kickoff this artist series, we partnered with Brazilian artist Camila Rosa. Camila used her provocative perspective to raise awareness of social issues. Her bold vision is proudly displayed across 3 exclusive designs with the goal of elevating and empowering women.

"After taking a career pause to be a
stay-at-home mom and then feeling imposter
syndrome when preparing to return, I felt
supported, valued, and empowered in the
Light + Fit Returnship program. And those
feelings are invaluable when transitioning
to re-enter the workforce."

tell you that I came out of it with a lot more
confidence in my skills and knowledge, the value
I can offer, my place in the current marketplace,
and my ability to manage any work environment,
in-person, remote, or hybrid.”
