Two years ago The Huggies brand launched its first MomInspired grant program providing resources and capital to help fun women-owned business startups and innovations inspired by motherhood. In 2010, Huggies invested a total of a quarter million dollars to financially support the 12 inaugural grant recipients. Some of the inventions include: a spill proof training cup and a device that relieves stress and pain of child vacccinations.
“Our hope is to help these mom inventors jumpstart their journey, empowering them with the funds, confidence and resources to realize their dreams and share their unique perspective on parenting challenges,” said Steve Paljieg, senior director, corporate innovation for Kimberly-Clark. ”Who knows how to solve child-rearing problems better than the moms who live them every day?”
