Small Business Grants for Women in Arizona
Not sure how to find women-owned business grants in Arizona? We’re here to help.
An internet search will find dozens of sites promising to help women small business owners. Unfortunately, most of the sites look shady. And others look like complicated government sites that don’t understand the time constraints of small business owners.
We’re here to help you wade through the waters. WomensNet can help you find legitimate grants, loans, and other funding sources for your business. That doesn’t mean you won’t have to put in some time and effort — because you most certainly will. But we’ll help you cut through a lot of initial time and research that would otherwise be a drain on your energy.
A simple place to start is with our Amber Grant for Women. Businesswomen from Arizona (and all over America) have won in our 20-year history. And our judges award this grant every month – so today is the perfect time to apply. If you win the $10,000 Amber Grant, you’re automatically eligible to win the year-end Amber Grant ($25,000). Think about what $35,000 in total grant funds would do for your business.

What is an Amber Grant?
WomensNet launched the Amber Grant in 1998 to honor the memory of an ambitious young woman who died at the age of 19, before she could realize her entrepreneurial aspirations. Today, these grants help women like you fulfill the dreams that Amber could not.
How Does It Work?
Every month, WomensNet judges award one or more Amber Grants of $10,000 each. Then, at the end of the year, one of those grant recipients is selected to receive the $25,000 Amber Grant.
How Do I Apply?
By telling us your story. There are no lengthy, complicated documents to complete; just answer a few questions about your business. But hurry—applications are due by the end of the month for the next $10,000 Amber Grant.
