Office of women's business ownership

The Small Business Administration (SBA) awarded a $150,000 Women's Business Ownership Assistance Project Grant to the Idaho Hispanic Foundation, Inc. on September 30, 2023. The funding will support the Foundation's delivery of training, counseling, outreach, and technical assistance services to small businesses and entrepreneurs, with a focus on assisting women-owned businesses and minority-owned firms. This aligns with the SBA's Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043), which provides grants to private non-profit organizations to remove discriminatory barriers women entrepreneurs face in accessing capital, markets, management, and other critical resources for business growth. The Idaho Hispanic Foundation, Inc. has received multiple federal grant awards to support its entrepreneurial development services, including pandemic relief support, capacity building programs, and capital access initiatives for women and minority entrepreneurs.
