For starters —  yes, WomensNet offers THREE business grants to women in Texas (as well as all across the United States). They are our monthly Amber Grants for Women and it’s simple for you to apply.  (We only ask two questions. Tell us about your business or business idea… and what would you do with the $10,000 grant?)

Every month, we give away THREE $10,000 grants to women business owners.  And at the end of the year, we give away three more $50,000 grants to our monthly winners.  So if you’re willing to take a couple minutes to tell us about your small or start-up business, you could be awarded $60,000 in grant money by the end of this year!

You’ve discovered a group of women who will help you find grants, loans and tons of resources for Texas women business owners like you.  Yes, you’ll still have to get your hands dirty and do the heavy lifting!

Six steps you should take when looking for a business grant:

1. Analyze your organization's needs. Make sure you have a solid understanding of the:
  • Problem or need you want to address
  • Audience that will benefit from your product or service
  • Kind and amount of support you need
  • Resources and commitment your group brings to the project
  • Potential and prospective partners in the community
2. Research various types of foundations. Learn the operational differences between:
  • Corporate foundations
  • Civic foundations
  • Private foundations
3. Look for funding matches. Identify funders who:
  • Are able and likely to fund projects in your geographic area
  • Share a similar core mission or goals
  • Have already supported similar ventures or projects
4. Compile a list of prospects. Group them in two ways:
  • By Geographic Location (city, state, region)
  • By field of interest or program subject
5. Review and refine your list. Eliminate prospects that DON’T FUND:
  • In your state
  • Your type of organization
  • Your subject
  • The type of support you need
  • Your size project
6. Select the most appropriate funding prospects. Research them in detail:
  • Contact them directly to request annual reports and other publications
  • Search print and online media to identify projects that received grants in the past
  • Ask former grant recipients for advice and why they felt they were successful over other applicants
