About the company
Center For Women & Enterprise, Inc. CWE Rhode Island Division, doing business as Center For Women & Enteprise, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Providence, Rhode Island that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants supporting entrepreneurship training, business development, and technical assistance to underrepresented entrepreneur populations including women, veterans, service-disabled veterans, and socially disadvantaged farmers. The organization serves as the Rhode Island division of a parent entity also named Center For Women & Enterprise, Inc. headquartered in Acton, Massachusetts. CWE Rhode Island operates exclusively in the federal grant space — it holds no federal contracts and no seats on contract vehicles — and competes in full-and-open federal grant competitions without set-aside restrictions.
CWE Rhode Island's grant portfolio concentrates in SBA and USDA programs targeting specific populations. The Small Business Administration accounts for 73% of recent awards across two main SBA vehicles: the Office of Veterans Business Development (7 awards under the Veterans Outreach Program, CFDA 59.044) and the Office of Entrepreneurial Development (7 awards under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance Program, CFDA 59.043), with four additional SBA awards and three awards from the SBA Office of Performance Management and the Chief Financial Officer rounding out the customer list. A single Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture award represents diversification into USDA. Recent capability work includes a $615,145 three-year project grant from the USDA Institute of Youth, Family, and Community under the Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program (CFDA 10.443) running through September 2028 to deliver entrepreneurship training, technical assistance, and business development services to beginning veteran farmers and ranchers in the Providence and New England region; a $310,848 cooperative agreement from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service under the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (CFDA 10.175) running through February 2029 to strengthen the Ivanhoe Farmers Market and advance food equity and minority farmer empowerment; and a $340,000 SBA Veterans Outreach Program grant running through April 2026 delivering the SBA's Introduction to Entrepreneurship curriculum alongside business counseling, mentoring, and federal procurement education to veteran and military-connected populations.
Award activity has been flat to declining — three awards in 2022 and 2023, then two in each of 2024 and 2025, with one award in 2026 — with $7.8 million in combined dollars obligated across 30 total awards since 2009. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting immediate recompete exposure. CWE Rhode Island also acts as a sub-recipient on a City of Providence self-employment training program, but the source does not detail additional sub-award work. The organization's core capacity centers on delivering SBA entrepreneurship curricula and providing business training, counseling, and technical assistance to women entrepreneurs, veterans, and disadvantaged farmers in the Rhode Island and broader New England region.
