Up to $60,000 for Women-Owned Businesses – Amber Grants

The WomensNet Amber Grants support women entrepreneurs in the United States and Canada, including established businesses, startups and even businesses that are still at the idea stage. One application automatically puts applicants forward for the grants they're eligible for.
