Description

The Women’s Business Development Council offers grants of up to $10,000 to qualified women-owned small businesses in Connecticut. 

Ignite is designed to help women-owned businesses grow! 

Grants between $2,500 and $10,000 will be awarded for clearly defined projects that will have a measurable impact on the business, its growth and profitability. 

The grant funds cannot be used towards operating expenses (e.g. inventory, on-going marketing expenses, salaries), real estate improvements (e.g. construction costs), reimbursement for past purchases or debt repayment.

 Applicants are required to have invested at least $2,500 into their business in the last 12 months, unless located in a distressed municipality. 

The deadline to submit an application is March 10th, 11:59PM. 

This is a competitive process and WBDC may not be able to fund all applicants.
