Where Do Women Go To Find Business Grants Or Loans

If you are a woman business owner then you know that there are many things for you to focus on, especially how to find money for your business so it can grow and thrive. Did you know that some funding sources out there specifically target women entrepreneurs?


If you are looking for a grant, don’t be hesitant to look because of what the business is going to be. There are literally hundreds of grants for women wanting to start craft businesses, consulting, brokerage, record labels and more.


Here are several sites that hopefully will prove helpful and lead you to what you are looking for.


One site that is worth checking out is The Ladies Club 2000. It is required that you sign up and become a member. It’s free of charge and then you will have access to grant information. www.theladiesclub2000.com/grantsforwomen.htm


On Women’s Finance, there are two different kinds of grants offered. There is the new business grant that is between $100 and $5,500 and one for existing business that ranges from $1,000 to $5,000. You must apply. www.womensbusinessgrants.com


It seems at times that our government does not want us to succeed, but it does. Most places have requirements in order to get a grant such as being over 65, a minority, or even having bad credit. The site listed has additional sites that are looking for women to give grants to in these areas. www.womenowned.com/Growing/Funding/Opportunities.aspx


Here is a new fundraising organization that raises money from women for women. Loans are given from $500 to $10,000 (for first time recipients the maximum amount is $5,000). It is called Count-Me-In and looks like a great resource with funding consideration based on experience over credit history. www.count-me-in.org


The Women’s Funding Network promotes the development and growth of women’s funds then empowers women by fostering strategic alliances among women donors and institutions. www.wfnet.org


www.WomensNet.Online.net – This one offers helpful resources from grants for women business owners to detailed practical help with marketing, advertising, accounting and thousand other details serving women entrepreneurs.


The Ada Project for Women (TAP) includes information on discussion groups, fellowships, grants and notable women in computer science. www.tap.mills.edu


The sites listed here are worth checking out to help you find small business grants, loans or fellowships. Don’t get discouraged, as this is time consuming and will lead you away from your dream. Remember, above is just a start and they can lead to other sites or points of promise. Good luck, you deserve it as much as anyone else!

What I Want My Words to Do to You $13.44 The documentary What I Want My Words to Do to You offers a look at some actual rehabilitation at a women's maximum security prison. Directors Judith Katz, Madeleine Gavin, and Gary Sunshine used high-definition video cameras to capture an emotional reformation process for several incarcerated women. Activist and playwright Eve Ensler (The Vagina Monologues) conducted a writing workshop at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in New York. Some of the inmates were serving long sentences, including some members of the Vietnam war-era radical political group the Weather Underground. The convicts were asked to contemplate their crime and assess possibilities for their future, even if that means life imprisonment. After the workshop, the stories were then performed by actors with the entire prison population as the audience. The personal stories of the inmates shared a common theme of painful truths and acceptance. What I Want My Words to Do to You won the Freedom of Expression Award at the the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
