Small Business Grants for Women in Kentucky
Here’s how to get small business grants for women in Kentucky.
A Google search of “grants for women business owners in Kentucky” will bring up a long list of sites offering to help. But virtually none of them gives away any grant money. The ones that do are typically convoluted government (Small Business Administration) sites that are going to want a lot of personal and financial information about you.
But now for the great news: We give away $30,000 in grant money to women-owned businesses — every month!
We’re Awarding Three $10,000 Grants to Businesswomen This Month
This really could be the perfect place to start. Our Amber Grants for Women will give away three separate grants of $10,000 each this month.
And, yes, businesswomen from Kentucky (and all around America) are eligible to apply for a monthly $10,000 Amber Grant — so today would be the perfect time for you to apply. And if you are awarded one of the $10,000 grants, you’re automatically eligible for one of our three year-end $25,000 Amber Grants.
That’s right: You could earn $35,000 in total grant money this year.
After you’ve applied for our grant, please take a bit of time to check out the resources below. There are people and resources in Kentucky waiting to bless women business owners just like you.
