If You’re A Woman Looking For A Grant For Your STEM Business… You’ve Found the Right Site.

Did you know that women make up half the American workforce… but only 27% of STEM workers?! Yes, we’re underrepresented in areas of technology, despite our proven passion and skill set.

Every day, women entrepreneurs are breaking the glass ceiling by starting businesses in the fields of app development, software engineering, network security, computer programming,  web development, and other technological inventions! What’s equally true is that these women-owned technology businesses have a hard time finding money. We know because we hear from these women.

At WomensNet, we’re inspired by these women pioneers. Which is why we have a business-specific grant category aimed at helping women entrepreneurs in the technology space.  We award this $10,000 women’s technology grant every November.

November’s Business Specific Grant is STEM

Your STEM applications can include any subcategory such as:

  • Software Development
  • App Development
  • Website Development
  • Telecom & Networking
  • IT & Computer Support
  • System Administration
  • Inventory Systems
  • CRM Systems
  • SaaS Related Businesses
  • LMS Related Businesses 
  • IT Infrastructure
  • IT Security

Here’s How You Become Eligible for Our November “STEM” 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 »
