You’ve probably been there before.
A Google search will bring up a long list of sites offering grants. But most either look like scams or overly complicated government (Small Business Administration) sites.
We take a much different approach. For 22 years, WomensNet has helped business owners find real grants, loans, and other funding for their business ventures. Without question, 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. Businesswomen — 18+ years of age — from Vermont are eligible to apply for this grant. And our quick, 2-question application ensures that you’re not spending a whole day filling out paperwork.
Win 1 of our monthly Amber Grants ($10,000), and you’ll automatically be eligible for our year-end Amber Grant ($25,000). In total, we’re awarding the most grant money this year in our history. So there’s no better time to apply.
Finally, take a bit of time to view the resources below. There are people in Vermont waiting to help women business owners just like you. Best of luck in your search.
