About the company
The Women's Business Development Council (WBDC) is a non-profit organization based in Stamford, Connecticut, dedicated to supporting women entrepreneurs through comprehensive business development services. Registered in SAM.gov since 2007, the organization focuses on removing discriminatory barriers faced by women in starting, growing, and sustaining their small businesses. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, WBDC has established itself as a critical resource for women-owned businesses, particularly in Connecticut, by providing targeted entrepreneurial support and advocacy.
The WBDC has consistently secured federal grants from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), primarily through the Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043). These grants, ranging from $150,000 to $225,000 annually, enable the organization to deliver extensive services including entrepreneurial training, business counseling, financial coaching, technical assistance, and access to capital resources. The grants typically cover specific regions within Connecticut, such as Stamford, New London, Naugatuck Valley, and Hartford-Tolland. In addition to SBA grants, WBDC has received a significant $2 million Congressional Community Project Funding grant and has secured sub-awards from the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood to provide statewide training and technical assistance to child care businesses. The organization's federal grant work focuses on supporting socially and economically disadvantaged women entrepreneurs, helping them overcome barriers in accessing markets, management resources, and capital, with a particular emphasis on fostering the growth of women-owned enterprises across multiple Connecticut regions.
