Are You A Woman Looking For A Grant For Your Education & Childcare Business?… You’ve Found The Right Site

Why do we have a specific woman business grant in the category of “Education and Childcare?”

The simple answer is that women account for over 95% of the childcare workforce. And that statistic dips only to 77% when it comes to the education industry. So, yeah, we respect the way women choose to educate and care for children (the decision makers of our future)!

We at WomensNet are inspired by female business owners who are driven to use their skills to nurture kids. They provide a good or service to benefit their community, and pour their time and passions into a purpose-driven business model. We want to see more of these women doing what they love — and making money at the same time.

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

September’s Business Specific Grant is Education & Childcare

Your education and childcare applications can include any subcategory such as:

  • Family Child Care Homes
  • Preschool Programs
  • Child Care Centers
  • After-School Programs
  • Child Educational Services
  • Social Learning Services
  • Speech Services
  • Child Day Care Services
  • Tutors
  • School Counselor
  • Child Care Educators
  • Special Education Teacher

Here’s How You Become Eligible for Our September “Education and Childcare” 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 »
