Amber Grant for Women
Never miss this opportunity
About this opportunity
WomensNet established the "Amber Grant" in 1998 to honor Amber Wigdahl, a young woman who passed away before realizing her business dreams. The organization now awards at least $30,000 monthly through various grants, including the main Amber Grant, Startup Grants, Business Category Grants, and three $50,000 Year End Grants. These grants are specifically designed to support women in business, whether they are starting or growing their ventures. Monthly grants of $10,000 are awarded, and monthly winners become eligible for one of three $50,000 annual grants. The grant aims to recognize the diversity of businesses owned by women.
