Small Business Grants for Women in Georgia
Small business grant opportunities for women in Georgia are usually rare. Not at WomensNet.
A Google search will bring up a long list of sites. But most either look like scams or complicated government (Small Business Administration) sites that ask a ton of personal questions.
We’re much different. WomensNet helps you find legitimate grants, loans, and other funding for your business venture. Yes, 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 a major help.
A simple place to start is with our Amber Grant for Women. Business women from Georgia (and all around America) are eligible to apply. Our judges award this $10,000 Amber Grant every month – so you can apply when you’re ready.
If you win the $10,000 grant, you’re automatically eligible to win the year-end $25,000 Amber Grant. So you can end this year with $35,000 in grant money for your women-owned business. Not bad for the time it takes to fill out our simple, hassle-free application.
After you’ve applied for our grant, please take a bit of time to check out the resources below. There are people in Georgia waiting to help women business owners just like you. Best of luck in your search.

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.
