WBS Grant Watch

For the next few weeks, we will post business grant opportunities from private foundations and corporate businesses. This week's focus will be business grant opportunities for women.

We're presenting opportunities from The Amber Grant, The EILEEN FISHER Business Grant Program and The Open Meadows Foundation.

The Amber Grant

Website: http://womensnet.net/get-an-amber-grant/
Grant Amount: $500-$1000
Grant Cycle: Monthly
Deadline: March 31, 2014

The Amber Foundation Grants began in 1998, launched in conjunction with the entrepreneurial community for women, WomensNet.Net, to honor the memory of a young woman who died in 1981, at the age of 19. The purpose of the Amber Grants is to help other women achieve the dreams that Amber could not in her short time with us.

Our primary focus is assisting women who are trying to start small businesses, home-based or online. The grants are small, usually $500 to $1000, and are intended to be used to upgrade equipment, pay for a web site etc - the small but essential expenses that can often make the difference between getting started or being forever stalled. The March Amber Grant will be for $500.00. No repayment is required or expected.

Application process: Apply online at: http://womensnet.net/get-an-amber-grant/

The EILEEN FISHER Business Grant Program

Website: http://www.eileenfisher.com/EileenFisherCompany/CompanyGeneralContentPages/SocialConciousness/Women_Owned.jsp
Grant Amount: $12,500
Grant Cycle: Annually
Deadline: May 31, 2014

The EILEEN FISHER grant program seeks applicants from wholly women-owned businesses that combine the principles of social consciousness, sustainability and innovation to take their established businesses to the next stage of their business plan.

In addition to the key social principles, each applicant is required to have a solid business plan and a strategy for long-term growth. Each of the five grant recipients receives a $12,500 grant plus mentoring from internal EILEEN FISHER teams and a trip to New York City for a three-day workshop with EILEEN FISHER committee members and past grant recipients.

The EILEEN FISHER Business Grant Program for Women Entrepreneurs was launched in 2004 with a single grant to commemorate the company's twentieth anniversary. Since then, five grants have been awarded each year. The guidelines for the annual Women-Owned Business Program are continuing to evolve, and the grant applications are typically open annually from early March through May.

To apply, your business must be:

- Innovative
- 100 percent women-owned
- Producing products or services that foster environmental and economic health in the community
- A for-profit business or a for-profit/nonprofit hybrid (social enterprise). (Nonprofit organizations may be eligible for funding through other programs listed on our grant page.)
- In operation for at least three years and ready to move to the next stage of its business plan

Application process: The 2014 EILEEN FISHER Women's Business Grant application will open on March 15, 2014 and remain open through May 31, 2014 at 11:59pm Eastern Time.
