How Do I Find A Government Grant?
If you are a woman and you are interested in funding your business with a government grant for women, it is not easy to find the right place to turn to.
The actual problem is to find a grant, not a loan, which will help you in your business start. Currently, the government offers a web site www.grants.gov, where extensive resources are provided and where applicants can really find out how to get government grants for women.
Other than this website, there are no real government led web sites providing grant information.
On the other hand, loans to start a business can be found on many pages, such as www.sba.gov and similar. These sites provide no resources to genuine grants for women, it is focused on loan information for women entrepreneurs.
Grants are not given for personal financial assistance and certain organizations are more likely to qualify than others for a grant.
There is a United States Small Business Administration sponsored national network of Women’s Business Centers, which are meant to provide information, counsel, assistance and resources for women; helping them to start and establish successful small business ventures. The full list of such centers is down-loadable on the aforementioned web page www.business.gov.
State government offices of Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Washington and Wisconsin have offices with resources established to help women who own a business develop and grow their enterprise.
National Women’s Business Council has resources and business mentoring facilities to help women in business leadership positions successfully develop and lead their businesses; all of these places are good sources for information about government grants for women.
