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 Queens Economic Development Corporation (QEDC), a non-profit community development organization in Queens, New York. The grant funds will be used by QEDC to provide entrepreneurship training, business consulting, financial literacy education, and other support services targeted at assisting women-owned small businesses in Queens County. As a long-standing recipient of SBA and Department of Housing and Urban Development grants, QEDC has a demonstrated track record of delivering impactful entrepreneurial development programs and community economic initiatives. This latest Project Grant award will enable QEDC to continue its efforts to remove discriminatory barriers women entrepreneurs face in accessing capital, markets, and other critical business resources.
