What is An Amber Grant?

Amber Grants began in 1998 in honor of Amber Wigdahl, who died before fulfilling her dreams. Each month we award an Amber Grant of $10,000, and one of our 12 monthly recipients receives an additional $25,000 Amber Grant.

About WomensNet

Are you searching for grants for women in business? Truthfully, there aren't too many places that offer small business grants for women entrepreneurs. But we're one of the few who do.

WomensNet has been offering grants for women business owners since 1998. We call them "Amber Grants" named after the sister of the woman who founded WomensNet.

Our Amber Grants aren't like grants from fancy foundations or government. You don't have to go through a ton of paperwork to apply. And, of course, you never have to repay the money.

All we ask is that winners "pay it forward" someday to like-minded women who might be starting out in business.

“The Foundation awards $10,000 to a different women-owned business every month. At the end of each year, one of the 12 grant winners is awarded an additional $25,000.”

“Launched 20 years ago this grant honors the memory of a young woman who wanted to be an entrepreneur but died at age 19 before she could achieve her goal.”

“The Amber Grant Foundation was launched in 1998 to honor the memory of a young woman. The grant was formed to help women entrepreneurs reach their goals when Amber could not.”
