APPLY TODAY FOR A $25,000 AMBER GRANT FOR WOMEN
WomensNet founded the “Amber Grant” in 1998. The grant was set up with one goal: to honor the memory of a very special young woman, Amber Wigdahl, who died at just 19 years old — before realizing her business dreams.
Today, WomensNet carries on that tradition, proudly giving away at least $30,000 monthly in Amber Grant money. In recognition of the diversity of businesses owned by women, we’ve also expanded our grant-giving to include “Marketing Grants,” “Business Category Grants,” as well as two “$25,000 Year End Grants.”
