Have you spent hours looking for money for your women-owned business? It can be a daunting task if you hit the wrong sites. Some look very spammy. Others can be confusing and complicated government sites.
Now here’s the good news: You’ve landed on a site than can help you find funding for your woman-owned business. Yes, it’s going to take an investment of your time and effort to get funding – but if you’re serious about your business plans, we’d love to get you started.
We want to begin by letting you know that WomensNet offers grants to women in Ohio (as well as all across the United States). Our Amber Grant for Women has funded hardworking women business owners since 1998 — and you can apply today. We give out a $10,000 Amber Grant for Women every month. And if you are one of our 12 recipients this year, you’re eligible for our year-end $25,000 Amber Grant. Fill out our online application in just a few minutes — and you could be awarded $35,000 in grant money by the end of this year.
