The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) awarded a $150,000 Cooperative Agreement grant under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043) to the Center for Women & Enterprise, Inc., a nonprofit organization located in Manchester, New Hampshire. The grant, awarded on September 30, 2024, will support the organization's efforts to provide comprehensive entrepreneurial development services for women-owned small businesses through September 29, 2025.

The key products and services delivered through this SBA grant include business training, counseling, and resource development to help women entrepreneurs overcome barriers to growth, access capital, and navigate complex business environments. The Center for Women & Enterprise will leverage the grant funding to offer a range of tailored support services, such as legal and administrative guidance, strategies to address discriminatory obstacles, and facilitated access to capital networks. This grant builds upon the Center's previous award of $300,000 in September 2022, which similarly focused on fostering the sustainability and growth of women-owned enterprises.
