Small Business Grants for Women in Michigan
Small business grants for women in Michigan are here.
A Google search of “grants for women small business owners in Michigan” will bring up a long list of sites. But most either look like scams or complicated government (Small Business Administration) sites that ask a lot of personal and financial questions. Almost none of the non-government sites actually give out grants.
We’re different. We give out grants every single month to women business owners and startups.
This Month We’ll Give Away Three Women’s Grants of $10,000 Each
A great place to start is with our Amber Grants for Women. Businesswomen from Michigan (and all around America) are eligible to apply. Our judges award three separate $10,000 Amber Grants each month – so it’s always a good time to apply. And if you are one of our three monthly winners, at the end of the year, you’re automatically eligible to win one of our year-end Amber Grants of $25,000. That means a few minutes of your time right now could turn into $35,000 total this year.
After you’ve applied for our grant, please take a bit of time to check out the resources below. There are people in Michigan waiting to help women business owners just like you. Best of luck with your business dreams!

Does WomensNet Offer Amber Grants to Women In My State?
Yes!! We've been offering business resources and grants to women in all 50 states (and Canada) since 1998. We have three different $10,000 Amber Grant winners EVERY month... Plus at the end of the year, each Amber Grant winner for that year is eligible for an additional $25,000 grant!
How Does It Work?
Submit your application. Our WomensNet judges review every application. Then we announce the three $10,000 Amber Grant winners the following month by the 23rd. At the end of the year, we award THREE more $25,000 grants -- chosen from our previous monthly grant winners for this year. That means you have the opportunity to receive $35,000 from WomensNet by filling out one two-question grant application.
How Do I Apply?
Simple. By telling us your story. There are no lengthy, complicated documents to complete. Just answer two questions about your business. But hurry—applications are due by the end of the month for all three of this month's $10,000 Amber Grant opportunities.
