Understanding all your funding options
Find the best way to fund your dreams, including with business grants for women.
Grants for women entrepreneurs
Small business grants, which do not need to be repaid (unlike loans), can be an excellent source of funding. Several federal, state and city agencies as well as foundations and private companies offer grant options specifically for women business owners.
However, grants are often limited and getting them can be very competitive. Some are only available to nonprofit organizations, and applying for a grant can be time-consuming. There is often a lot of research that goes into finding the right opportunities and working through the application requirements. M&T Bank can help you position yourself for the best chances at qualifying.
