About the company
Great Lakes Women's Business Council (GLWBC) is a nonprofit organization and Community Development Corporation based in Livonia, Michigan, that has been registered to receive federal awards since March 2005. GLWBC operates as a Community Development Financial Institution dedicated to supporting underserved entrepreneurs, particularly women-owned, minority-owned, and low-income small businesses in the Livonia area and the broader Great Lakes region. Through federal grant funding, GLWBC provides comprehensive entrepreneurial development services and financial assistance to help remove discriminatory barriers faced by women and disadvantaged entrepreneurs seeking to launch, establish, and grow their businesses.
GLWBC has received consistent federal grant support from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) across multiple programs since at least 2021. Under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance Program (CFDA 59.043), administered by the SBA's Office of Entrepreneurial Development, GLWBC has received Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements totaling $600,000 to provide business training, counseling, technical assistance, and access to capital resources to women-owned small businesses. Additionally, under the SBA's Microloan Program (CFDA 59.046), managed by the Office of Capital Access, GLWBC has received Formula Grants and Project Grants exceeding $3.2 million cumulatively from fiscal years 2021 through 2026, enabling the organization to provide microloans up to $50,000, business training, technical assistance, and entrepreneurial counseling to women, minority, and low-income entrepreneurs. GLWBC also received a $700,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund under the CDFI Rapid Response Program (CFDA 21.024) during the 2021-2023 period to support pandemic recovery efforts for small businesses and communities. Through these awards, GLWBC serves as an SBA Microloan intermediary and operates as a primary service provider rather than a pass-through entity, directly delivering all services to end beneficiaries without identified federal prime or subcontractor partners.
