We know that grants can be hard to find – specifically for women-owned businesses.

We don’t want you to worry. That is why we offer the WomensNet $10,000 Amber Grant every month.

This grant is offered to all types of women-owned business and is chosen by our AdvisoryBoard. Applying is simple and you only need to fill out one application in order to be eligible for our monthly $10,000 Amber Grant. Each of those 12 winners is then eligible for our $25,000 Year-End Grant.

We want to hear your story. Apply for our Amber Grant.

Here’s How You Become Eligible for Our Amber Grant — As Well As All Our Additional Grants:

 

  1. 1. Apply for our monthly Amber Grant. By applying just once for the $10,000 monthly Amber Grant, you automatically become eligible for that month’s $10,000 Business specific grant
  2. 2. You do NOT have to apply again. Your single Amber Grant application also makes you eligible for any of our other grants, including:
  • The $10,000 “Business Specific Category” Grant that we give away each month for the next 11 months. Here are those categories and months that they are awarded:

  • The $10,000 Monthly Startup grant
    We define a “startup” as a business in the “idea phase,” or one that has only had minimal sales (less than $10,000). Even though startups are eligible for all our monthly grants, we’ve created an additional grant especially for this underserved sector.

  • The three (3) $25,000 Year-End Grants
    At the end of every year, we select 3 winners from the 36 monthly $10,000 Amber Grant, Startup, and Business Specific grant winners.

    This means your business could win a total of $35,000 in grant money by submitting just one application.

Submitting one application makes you instantly eligible for these multiple grants. Click here for your application »
