You’d think it’s nearly impossible to find a legit small business grant for women anywhere online. A quick Google search will get you a long list of sites to check out. But a lot of these sites either look shady or they’re way too complicated government-run sites — agencies that typically give out large grants to women business owners, but only if you’re in the tech sector.
That’s not what we’re about. WomensNet can help you find real grants, loans, and other funding for your small business. That doesn’t mean it will be easy. You’re going to have to put in some hard work and time. But if you’re serious about growing a successful business, you’ll find our site is a big help.
Here’s a great and simple way to start — apply for our Amber Grant for Women. Businesswomen from Chicago (and all across America) can easily apply for this grant. Our judges pick a $10,000 Amber Grant recipient each month – and if you win, you’re automatically eligible for our $25,000 year-end Amber Grant. That means you could be awarded $35,000 this year by completing your application today.
After you’ve applied, please read about the resources below. There are businesspeople in Chicago waiting to help women business owners just like you.
