Even though you can find dozens of sites offering small business grants for women — the truth is that many look shady, while others come from complicated government sources…long forms with personal questions and endless financial disclosures. Is that what you really want to do with your valuable time?
We’re offering you something different. WomensNet helps you find real grants, loans, and other funding for your business.
A simple place to start is with our own Amber Grant for Women. Since 1998, businesswomen from Washington (and all around America) have applied for this $10,000 grant. Our judges award this Amber Grant every month, so there’s always an opportunity to apply. Even better — if you win this or any month, you’re automatically one of our 12 finalists for the year-end $25,000 Amber Grant.
Why not take the time to fill out our simple, 2-question application? A few minutes right now could translate into $35,000 in grant money this year. Just think about what you’d do with that life-changing money.
After you’ve applied for our grant, please take a bit of time to check out the resources below. There are folks in Washington waiting to help women business owners just like you.

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.
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 $10,000 Amber Grant.
