About this opportunity
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is seeking applications from 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations to establish new Women's Business Centers (WBCs) that will provide entrepreneurial development services to women, with an emphasis on socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs in locations outside the geographical areas of existing WBCs. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to provide grant funding for the initial establishment of these new WBCs. Eligible applicants must demonstrate the capability to deliver training, counseling, and technical assistance tailored to women entrepreneurs. Proposals will be evaluated based on factors like organizational capability, program design, performance measurement, and sustainability. The application period opens on June 7, 2024 and closes on July 15, 2024.
SBA expects to make multiple awards ranging from $75,000 to $150,000 per recipient under this 5-year cooperative agreement program. The project period consists of a 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods. Successful applicants will be required to provide a 1:2 non-federal match in the first two years, and a 1:1 match in the subsequent three years of the project.
