Some of the sites that pop up can look shady, or you wind up on a daunting government site like the Small Business Administration. You want a straight-forward way to get grant money for your woman-owned business.
Well, we’re glad you discovered our little-known but helpful site. We’ve been helping women business owners like you find funding and grants since 1998. Sure, you still have to do the hard work of pursuing and applying for the money. However, if you’re a woman business owner who is serious about her business dreams, then we’re here to get you started.
Your first opportunity is with our Amber Grant, offered to women in Florida (as well as across North America). Our judges select one $10,000 Amber Grant recipient every month. At the end of the year, each of those 12 recipients becomes automatically eligible to win our year-end $25,000 Amber Grant. That means a few minutes of your time could turn into $35,000 in grant money this year.
You might also take a few minutes to check out more resources below. You should be excited to know that plenty of people in Florida are ready to help women business owners like you.
