The Center for Technology, Enterprise & Development, Inc. (TED Center) received a $150,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Entrepreneurial Development under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043). The award, effective from September 30, 2023 to September 29, 2024, will enable the TED Center, a non-profit Community Development Corporation, to continue providing entrepreneurial training, counseling, and technical assistance to women-owned small businesses in South Florida. This funding builds on the TED Center's recent multi-year SBA grants totaling over $680,000, including a $420,000 CARES Act award in 2020 to support women-owned firms impacted by COVID-19. By empowering women entrepreneurs and helping them overcome discriminatory barriers in accessing capital and contracting opportunities, the TED Center's activities are aligned with the SBA's mission of establishing and sustaining viable women-owned small businesses.
