Are You A Woman Looking For A Grant For Your Trade Business?… You’ve Found The Right Site
As most statistics will show, women are often underrepresented in the trade services — especially as business owners. That means we’re often ignored for the contributions we make to our communities, even though we offer essential services like carpentry, welding or trucking. Being a woman business owner in the trade services helps break through the oldest glass ceiling. Challenging these traditional roles also expands women’s entrepreneurial skills and develops flexible careers that enable us to manage both work and family responsibilities.
Does that describe you?… If so, here’s some good news:
We at WomensNet are inspired by women who are driven to use their skills 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. 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 trades industry.
January’s Business Specific Grant is Skilled Trades
Skilled trades can include any subcategory such as:
- Auto Mechanic
- Carpentry
- Welding & Fabrication
- Heating & Cooling
- Trucking & Transportation
- Commercial & Home Construction
- Plumbing
- Farming
- Remodeling
Here’s How You Become Eligible for Our January “Skilled Trade” Business Specific Grant
— As Well As All Our Additional Grants:
- 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. 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

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.

Past Skilled Trade Businesses & Organizations Winners
The Amber Grant Fund has grown through the years. That growth is reflected in two ways by the winners below. First, by the increase in the dollar amounts of each grant. Second, by the increase in how many times a grant is given.
