Summary
This funding opportunity is available for women with military service backgrounds who are looking to grow or strengthen their small businesses in a specific southern U.S. state. Designed to support individuals transitioning from military service into entrepreneurship, this program provides financial assistance to help build sustainable business ventures. It is intended for women who hold a majority ownership stake in their business and who are actively managing its operations.
Each year, a limited number of awards are distributed to eligible applicants. The funding amounts are fixed, with each recipient receiving $5,000 to apply toward specific business needs. The grants are not meant for salaries or operating taxes but may be used for purchasing equipment, marketing materials, inventory, business property improvements, or other items that contribute to the expansion or efficiency of the business.
This opportunity is available to individuals who meet certain criteria related to residency, business structure, and prior military service. It is not open to nonprofit organizations, but rather targets women-owned, for-profit businesses that are properly registered and operating within the state. The business must be legally compliant and in good standing with all local and state requirements.
Participants selected for this funding are also expected to complete a business training component and work with advisors to refine their long-term plans. In addition, recipients are required to contribute a small percentage of their own resources toward the project, helping ensure mutual investment in the success of the business.
The program opens for applications once a year, and funding is awarded on a competitive basis. It offers more than just financial support—recipients also gain access to learning resources, expert guidance, and tools to help them navigate the entrepreneurial landscape. This initiative is part of a broader effort to empower women business owners and foster economic growth in the region.
