10 Small Business Grants for Women and Minority Entrepreneurs

In many ways, small business owners embody the spirit of American independence and determination. Don’t all Americans deserve an equal opportunity to pursue the American dream? It’s easy to say yes, and even mean it. However, new entrepreneurs still face so many challenges, starting out. And sadly, women and minority entrepreneurs frequently face even greater obstacles.

For this reason many foundations provide minority and women small business owners with entrepreneurial support and funding opportunities.
Today, GrantWatch features 10 grants dedicated to closing the gap for women and minority entrepreneurs. These grants range from accelerator and mentoring programs to funding for business expansion.

In conclusion, we hope you find the funding you need for your special project. And remember, our website has over 1800 grants listed under our PIBOC (black, indigenous, and other people of color) category. Happy Grant Hunting!
