The She Owns Her Success in Sports Fund

For too long, women athletes have had to carry the invisible load of pursuing their passion without the financial security to back it. Many juggle second jobs, train like Olympians, and still earn nothing from their sport. 

  • 50% of elite women athletes make zero income from their sport.
  • 74% juggle second jobs while training like Olympians.
  • 1 in 4 work full-time just to afford their sporting careers. 

Momentum is closing this gap by investing in women beyond the field through the She Owns Her Success in Sports Fund. With R500 000 in funding, mentorship, and coaching, Momentum is helping women in sport step into entrepreneurship, build businesses, and own their success beyond the field.
