The organization provides comprehensive entrepreneurial development services to women-owned small businesses, with a primary focus on removing discriminatory barriers and advancing women's economic empowerment. Through federal grant awards, WBDC delivers training, counseling, technical assistance, and certification support to help women entrepreneurs start, grow, and access contracting opportunities across multiple states.
WBDC has received consistent federal grant funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Entrepreneurial Development under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043) spanning from September 2022 through September 2026. The organization has secured six federal grant awards totaling at least $750,000, demonstrating sustained federal support for its mission. These awards have taken the form of both Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements, with individual grant amounts ranging from $150,000 to $300,000. The grants support WBDC's delivery of entrepreneurial development services to women-owned small businesses in Pennsylvania and Illinois, including the Philadelphia and Chicago markets. The services funded through these grants encompass business training, one-on-one counseling, women-owned business certification assistance, networking opportunities, and access to capital resources. All of WBDC's federal grant awards have been direct prime awards with no documented subcontractors or sub-partners listed, indicating that the organization implements these federal programs independently as a direct service provider to women entrepreneurs.
