Small Business Grants for Women in Colorado
Think small business grants for women in Colorado are tough to find? Think again.
If you’ve researched where to find a small business grant, you know the drill. A Google search will bring up a long list of sites. But most either look like scams or complicated government (Small Business Administration) sites.
We’re much different. For over 20 years, WomensNet has helped woman-business owners find legitimate grants, loans, and other funding. Of course, you’re still going to have to put in some hard work and time. But if you’re serious about getting your business to the next level, you’ll find our site is a big help.
A great place to start is with our Amber Grant for Women. Business women from Colorado (and all over North America) are eligible to apply. In fact, 2018 March Amber Grant winner Know Your Norma hails from Denver.
Our judges award the $10,000 Amber Grant each month – so today would be the perfect time to apply. If you’re a recipient, you’re automatically eligible for our $25,000 year-end Amber Grant. Take some time to fill out our simple application — it could truly be life-changing.
After you’ve applied for our grant, feel free to view out the resources below. There are folks in Colorado waiting to help women business owners just like you.

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.
