Grant Available for Women Entrepreneurs

Grants for start-up businesses are virtually non existent.  But here's one from a private business owner and entrepreneur who wants to give back and help other women be successful.  The Eileen Fisher Business Grant Program for Women Entrepreneurs was launched in 2004.

"The program seeks applicants from wholly women-owned businesses that combine the principles of social consciousness, sustainability, and innovation to create new businesses or invigorate existing ones. In addition to those key social principals, applicants must have a solid business plan and a strategy for long-term growth."

The grants are $12,500 (five are awarded) and come with mentoring from professionals at the firm of clothing designer Eileen Fisher.  Check out this article for all the details. Note the May 15 deadline.
