Office of women's business ownership

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) awarded a $150,000 Project Grant under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043) to the Usbc Community Economic Development Corporation (USBC CEDC), a minority-owned non-profit community development corporation. The funding will support USBC CEDC in providing training, counseling, technical assistance, and business advisory services focused on supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs, particularly women, minorities, veterans, and other underserved groups. This award is part of the SBA's efforts to remove discriminatory barriers that women entrepreneurs face in accessing capital, markets, management, and other critical resources for business growth. USBC CEDC has a track record of delivering these entrepreneurship support services through substantial federal grant funding from agencies like the SBA and Department of Commerce.
