The Amber Grant was founded in 1998 by WomensNet to honor the memory of Amber Wigdahl, a young woman who passed away before fulfilling her entrepreneurial dreams. The grant supports women entrepreneurs in the U.S. by awarding monthly grants of $10,000, with one annual recipient receiving an additional $25,000. It’s open to women starting or running small businesses, with a simple application process and a strong focus on passion and purpose over perfect business plans.
