$50,000 Amber Grant for Women

  • Organization: WomensNet
  • Type: Grant
  • Location: Global
  • Deadline: August 31, 2026
  • Funding: Fully Funded

The Amber Grant is a monthly grant program for women entrepreneurs, run by WomensNet since 1998. It was created to honor Amber Wigdahl, a young woman who passed away at 19 before she could pursue her business goals. Every month, WomensNet awards at least $30,000 in grants, and at the end of the year, three women receive $50,000 Year End Grants. There are also Startup Grants and Business Category Grants available. Applying is straightforward: you fill out a short form about yourself and your business idea, and one application automatically enters you for all grants you qualify for. Winners are announced by the 21st of the following month. The monthly grant is $10,000, and the deadline for the next round is July 31, 2026. This is a solid option if you're a woman with a business idea or an existing small business and you want funding without jumping through a ton of hoops.

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +Genuinely low-friction: a two-question application, and one submission puts you in front of every grant you qualify for
  • +Eligibility is concrete and low-barrier: a woman aged 18 or over, a business at least 50 percent women-owned, based in the United States or Canada. Pre-revenue and idea-stage businesses are explicitly eligible
  • +Track record you can check: running since 1998, winners named publicly every month, announced by the 21st of the following month

Worth checking yourself

  • !A 15 dollar non-refundable application fee, charged whether or not you win. The fee-waiver route exists but must be requested by email before applying
  • !The title oversells the ask. You cannot apply for the 50,000. You apply for the 10,000 monthly grants, and only monthly winners become eligible for the three year-end 50,000 grants
  • !The cutoff recurs monthly, so this record needs its deadline rolled forward each month or it will show as expired on a live opportunity
  • !Applications do not roll forward month to month, and the same email cannot re-apply within 3 months
