About grants for women

Thousands of grants exist specifically to support women-led organizations, women entrepreneurs, and programs serving women and girls. These opportunities come from federal agencies, state programs, and private foundations committed to closing funding gaps and advancing gender equity. This includes grants for Black women, Latina founders, Indigenous women leaders, and women from every background — many funders explicitly prioritize women of color in their giving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of grants are available for women?

Grants for women span business startup funding, education scholarships, research grants, nonprofit program funding, and community development. Federal sources include SBA programs and HHS grants, while foundations like the Ms. Foundation and Eileen Fisher offer targeted funding for women-led initiatives.

Are there grants specifically for Black women?

Yes. Multiple funders run programs specifically for Black women, including the Black Girl Ventures Foundation, the Fearless Fund, the Tory Burch Foundation's Fellows Program (which prioritizes women of color), and the SoGal Black Founder Startup Grant. Many community foundations and corporate giving programs also reserve funding for Black women entrepreneurs and leaders.

Do I need to be a nonprofit to apply for grants for women?

Not necessarily. While many grants target 501(c)(3) nonprofits, there are also grants for women-owned small businesses (through SBA and state programs), individual women pursuing education or research, and social enterprises. Each grant specifies eligible applicant types.

How do I find grants specifically for women entrepreneurs?

Search for grants tagged with both women and small business categories. Federal sources include the SBA, while private sources like Amber Grant, IFundWomen, and the Tory Burch Foundation specifically fund women-owned businesses. Many state economic development agencies also run women-focused business grant programs.
