Small Business Grants for Women in Indiana
Small business grants for women in Indiana might seem scarce. We give away 3 each month.
You’d think it’s impossible to find a legit small business grant for women anywhere online. A Google search will get you a long list of sites to research. But a lot of these sites simply don’t offer grants. Or they’re way too complicated government-run sites — agencies that typically give out large grants to women business owners, but only if you’re in the tech sector.
That’s not what we’re about:

Does WomensNet Offer Amber Grants to Women In My State?
Yes!! We've been offering business resources and grants to women in all 50 states (and Canada) since 1998. We have three different $10,000 Amber Grant winners EVERY month... Plus at the end of the year, each Amber Grant winner for that year is eligible for an additional $25,000 grant!
How Does It Work?
Submit your application. Our WomensNet judges review every application. Then we announce the three $10,000 Amber Grant winners the following month by the 23rd. At the end of the year, we award THREE more $25,000 grants -- chosen from our previous monthly grant winners for this year. That means you have the opportunity to receive $35,000 from WomensNet by filling out one two-question grant application.
How Do I Apply?
Simple. By telling us your story. There are no lengthy, complicated documents to complete. Just answer two questions about your business. But hurry—applications are due by the end of the month for all three of this month's $10,000 Amber Grant opportunities.
