Small Business Grants for Women in Alaska
Are you a woman entrepreneur in Alaska searching for a small business grant?
It can be tough to find sites offering grants to women-owned businesses. You’ll likely have a choice of daunting government websites, or private sites that seem a bit… shady.
Don’t worry: WomensNet will help you find legitimate grants, loans, and other funding for your woman-owned business. Yes, you still have to put in some sweat equity. But the good news is this: If you’re serious about launching your business, you’ll find our site is a key resource.
We give out three $10,000 grants every month!
A good start is with our Amber Grants for Women. Women entrepreneurs from Alaska can apply for this grant, which has been around since 1998.
Here’s how it works…
Our judges award THREE $10,000 Amber Grant each month. If you win, you automatically have a chance to be awarded one of our THREE $25,000 year-end grants. This year, we’re awarding the most grant money in our 25-year history.

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.
