If necessity truly is the mother of invention, it’s no wonder that women are to thank for many of the most widely used products in America — windshield wipers, diapers, automatic dishwashers and more.
Now mothers across the country can turn their ideas for inventions and businesses into reality, thanks to the Mother of Invention Grant Program, a competition that awards entrepreneurial moms with money and the tools they need to turn good ideas into viable businesses.
Inspiration can hit at just about any time for moms who run their own homes — be it when making the beds, doing laundry, preparing dinner, running a home-based business, or churning out school and work lunches like a short order cook on an assembly line.
With this in mind, Whirlpool has launched the grant program to help educate and support these entrepreneurial thinkers. The competition will award five ingenious moms with the resources — such as seed money, appliances and expert advice — that are necessary to get a business up and running. The program’s prizes are collectively valued at $68,500.
The call for entries is open until July 30. Moms interested in applying should visit www.whirlpool.com/moms to view program details and information on previous winners. No idea or invention is too small or too big to win, as judges are looking for ideas that offer unique solutions to unmet needs.
