WomensNet can help you find real grants, loans, and other funding for your business venture. Yes, you’re still going to have to put in some hard work and time. But if you’re serious about getting your business to the next level, you’ll find our site a big help.
A simple place to start is with our Amber Grant for Women. Business women from Utah (and all around America) are eligible to apply for this grant. In fact, Utah-based Wasatch Nectar was awarded the August Amber Grant ($1,000) and the year-end Amber Grant ($10,000) in 2018.
This year, our judges are awarding $4,000 Amber Grants each month – so today would be the perfect time to apply. If you win this (or any) month’s grant, you’re automatically eligible for the year-end $25,000 Amber Grant. That means that a few minutes right now could turn into $29,000 in total funds for your business.
After you’ve applied, please take a bit of time to check out the resources below. There are folks in Utah waiting to help women business owners just like you. Best of luck to you and your business dreams!

What is an Amber Grant?
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.
How Does It Work?
Every month, WomensNet judges award one or more Amber Grants of $4,000 each. Then, at the end of the year, one of those grant recipients is selected to receive the $25,000 Amber Grant.
How Do I Apply?
By telling us your story. There are no lengthy, complicated documents to complete; just answer a few questions about your business. But hurry—applications are due by the end of the month for the next $4,000 Amber Grant.
