A New Grant Program for Women Entrepreneurs

Thanks to friend and fellow mom blogger Heather Allard at The Mogul Mom for this information.

Eileen Fisher, who started her company with $350 and a vision, is offering a Business Grant Program for Women Entrepreneurs. Five women-owned companies will be awarded with grants of $10,000 each. At least one of these grants will go to a start-up organization (or an organization that’s less than three years old), and the rest will go to organizations that need funds to grow. Only wholly woman-owned businesses are eligible for this grant.

The application deadline is June 1, 2009.

For complete information and to apply, read Heather's post about the grant. You can also learn more about this grant and many others for mom entrepreneurs in the Resource section of The Mom Entrepreneur website.
