The Fifteen Percent Pledge is accepting applications for the Sephora Beauty Grant from Oct. 6 to Nov. 6, 2026, according to its official page. One U.S. beauty brand with $100K in annual revenue, at least a year in business and at least 51% underrepresented ownership will receive $100,000, pro-bono consulting and a meeting with Sephora merchants.
