Small Business Grants for Women in Wyoming
Discovering small business grants for women in Wyoming can be a challenge.
A quick internet search will bring up a long list of women grant sites. But most either look spammy… or are complicated government (Small Business Administration) sites. What you’re really looking for is a simple site with the chance to find some real grant money.
That’s where we come in: WomensNet helps you find legitimate grants, loans, and other funding for your business venture. The truth is — you’re still going to have to put in some hard work and time. But if you are 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 from Wyoming (and all around America) are eligible to apply. Our judges award this $10,000 grant each month – so today would be the perfect time to apply. If you win any monthly Amber Grant this year, you become automatically eligible to win our year-end $25,000 Amber Grant. So just a few minutes right now could earn you $35,000 in grants.
After you’ve applied for our grant, please take a bit of time to check out the resources below. There are folks in Wyoming waiting to help women business owners just like you.

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 $10,000 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 $10,000 Amber Grant.
