Doing a Google search for women-owned business grants can be arduous. And even when you do come across sites — they can be complicated government sites (like the Small Business Administration). Or they might be sites that look kind of spammy.
Now for the good news: WomensNet offers business grants to women in Pennsylvania (as well as all across the United States). We call it our Amber Grant for Women and it’s awarded by our judges every month. The monthly grant is $10,000. If you’d like to share your story, you can apply for the Amber Grant right now. If you win one of our monthly grants, you’re eligible for our year-end Amber Grant of $25,000. So just a few minutes on our site could land you $35,000 in grant money by the end of this year.

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.
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.
