Federal Grant Award Summary

Chicanos POR La Causa, Inc., operating as Migrant Headstart, received a $150,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of Entrepreneurial Development under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043). The award, effective September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2026, supports the organization's operation as a Women's Business Center (WBC) delivering entrepreneurship training and technical assistance to women entrepreneurs in Arizona. The center provides business development services including technical guidance in finance, management, marketing, and procurement readiness, with a particular emphasis on serving socially and economically disadvantaged women business owners starting or expanding their ventures.

As a Phoenix-based nonprofit with established expertise in serving Hispanic and Latino communities, Chicanos POR La Causa leverages this award to deliver culturally specific and linguistically appropriate business development programming within the national WBC network. The organization's track record of federal funding across multiple agencies and its existing community infrastructure position it to effectively reach underserved women entrepreneurs and support their path to business ownership and economic self-sufficiency.
