Are You A Woman Looking For A Grant For Your Non-Profit Business?… You’ve Found The Right Site

April 2023 Winner

It was not a big surprise to us that around 75% of the workforce for non-profit businesses are women.

It’s also not a big surprise that non-profit business grants are nearly impossible to find. We are inspired by women who are driven to use their non-profit to provide a good or service to benefit their community and who want to invest their time and passions into a purpose-driven business model, not a profit-obsessed model.

We realize you need to make enough money to take home a reasonable salary; it’s important work, but it’s not charitable work. We know it is even harder to find financial support for your non-profit business — particularly in the form of a non-profit business grant..

We’re WomensNet — and we get it.

This $10,000 grant runs quarterly based on applications submitted from: January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December.

Here’s How You Become Eligible for Our Quarterly Non-Profit 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

  • The $10,000 quarterly non-profit grant for the next 3 months. (We award this grant 4 times per year).
  • The $10,000 Quarterly Startup grant for the next 3 months. We award this grant 4 times per year.
  • The WomensNet “Marketing Grant.” We give “hands-on” marketing help to a selected female-owned business. It includes strategic sessions with members of our AdvisoryBoard and other "friends of WomensNet.” It also includes professional agency support in developing and executing a marketing plan. This is a grant a non-profit business can win as well.
  • $25,000 Year-End Grants
    At the end of every year, we select a $25,000 winner from the 12 monthly $10,000 Amber Grant winners -and- a $25,000 winner from the 12 Business Category Grants winners. This means your business could win a total of $35,000 in grant money by submitting just one application.
