Are You A Woman Looking For A Grant For Your Animal Services Business?… You’ve Found The Right Site

Women make up the majority of people involved in animal rescues — so it’s no surprise that women also make up the majority of owners in animal focused businesses.

That means women are turning their love of animals into all kinds of professions, everything from dog walkers to veterinarians. And, yes, many women branch out to become their own bosses in those fields.

What’s often missing is the financial support — and even business grants — specific to women in animal service businesses.

We at WomensNet are inspired by women who use their skills and passions to create a purpose-driven business model — especially as it benefits pets and animals. Most of all, we want to see more women doing what they love.

That’s why we give “Business Specific” Grants based on each month’s category — including a grant specific to women in the animal services industry during the month of July.

July’s Business Specific Grant is Animal Services

Your animal services applications can include any subcategory such as:

  • Animal Rescue Services
  • Veterinarian
  • Dog Walker
  • Animal Shelter
  • Pet Groomer & Stylist
  • Pet Supplies/Food
  • Pet Boarding
  • Wildlife Services
  • Animal Trainer

Here’s How You Become Eligible for Our July “Animal Services” Business Specific 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:
    — January: Skilled Trades
    — February: Health, Fitness & Wellness
    — March: Food & Beverage
    — April: Sustainability
    — May: Mental & Emotional Support
    — June: Business Support Services (e.g. accounting, consulting)
    — July: Animal Services
    — August: Hair Care & SkinCare
    — September: Education & Child Care
    — October: Creative Arts
    — November: STEM
    — December: Fashion & Interior Design
    At the end of the year, we will award one of the monthly recipients an additional $25,000 grant
  • 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 »
