Are You A Woman Looking For A Grant For Your Sustainable Business?… You’ve Found The Right Site
Women are spearheading the effort to roll back climate change — which really shouldn’t surprise anyone. One of the most impactful ways is through women entrepreneurs starting businesses that incorporate environmental and/or economic sustainability.
Yes, it’s possible to make a profit AND still come up with creative ways to promote economic and environmental sustainability. The planet and our futures really depend on women business owners coming up with sustainable solutions for any number of industries.
We at WomensNet are inspired by women who are driven to use their skills to provide a good or service to benefit their community and who want to invest their time and passions into a purpose-driven business model. We want to see more women doing what they love. That’s especially true of businesses that are economically and environmentally sustainable.
That’s why we give “Business Specific” Grants based on each month’s category — including a grant specific to women in the sustainability industry during the month of April.
April’s Business Specific Grant is Sustainability
Your sustainability applications can include any subcategory such as:
- Eco Friendly/Waste Reducing Products
- Environmental Initiatives
- Earth Sciences
- Resource Economics
- Water Management
- Urban Sustainability
- Urban Planning
- Sustainable Agriculture
- Wildlife Initiatives
Here’s How You Become Eligible for Our April “Sustainability” Business Specific Grant
— As Well As All Our Additional Grants:
- 1. Apply for our monthly Amber Grant. By applying just once for the $10,000 monthly Amber Grant, you automatically become eligible for that month’s $10,000 Business specific grant
- 2. You do NOT have to apply again. Your single Amber Grant application also makes you eligible for any of our other grants, including:
- The $10,000 “Business Specific Category” Grant that we give away each month for the next 11 months. Here are those categories and months that they are awarded:
— January: Skilled Trades

At the end of the year, we will award one of the monthly recipients an additional $25,000 grant
- The $10,000 Monthly Startup grant
We define a “startup” as a business in the “idea phase,” or one that has only had minimal sales (less than $10,000). Even though startups are eligible for all our monthly grants, we’ve created an additional grant especially for this underserved sector. - The three (3) $25,000 Year-End Grants
At the end of every year, we select 3 winners from the 36 monthly $10,000 Amber Grant, Startup, and Business Specific grant winners.
This means your business could win a total of $35,000 in grant money by submitting just one application.
Submitting one application makes you instantly eligible for these multiple grants. Click here for your application »
Past Sustainability Business & Organizations Winners
The Amber Grant Fund has grown through the years. That growth is reflected in two ways by the winners below. First, by the increase in the dollar amounts of each grant. Second, by the increase in how many times a grant is given.
