Huggies MomInspired Grant Program Launches Annual Search for Best New Products
Inspired by Parents and Babies
Being a parent can give us all great insight into situations we never even knew existed during our baby free years of life. I’m pretty versed when it comes to parenting, after all I’ve been at it for twenty-two years now with my oldest son being twenty-two and my youngest daughter only six years old. Along the way I have thought of many ways to make the path easier for other parents and parents to be. Thanks to Huggies MomInspired Grant Program ideas that we all have can go from the thought in your head to the store shelves, or pretty close. Huggies MomInspired Grant Program will offer twelve lucky moms a $15,000 grant to let their ideas sore. What an amazing opportunity for moms(or anyone over age 21) everywhere. The time is now, don’t wait!
Four million babies are born each year and more than 84 percent of “mompreneurs” said they developed their big ideas after becoming a parent1. The Huggies MomInspired Grant Program – now in its fourth year – is here to help turn those dreams into a reality.
Applications can be submitted at www.HuggiesMomInspired.com. Huggies will award $15,000 grants to up to 12 people to explore and grow their innovative product ideas that help make parents’ lives easier. We all need things to be easier, don’t we? Winners will receive business advice from Maria Bailey, author, radio and TV personality and founder of BSMMedia.com, as well as support from Kimberly-Clark.
“The Huggies MomInspired Grant Program was created because we saw the need to help fund women-owned businesses and start-ups, but the grant is open to anyone who has an innovative baby or child care product or idea – it is not limited to only Moms or women,” said Kelly Stephenson, Huggies senior brand manager. “We are looking forward to adding a new group of creative winners to the Huggies MomInspired family and giving them the opportunity to grow their innovative ideas and businesses.” Don’t let this pass you by.
