About the company
Womenventure is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization and certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) registered since 2005 that serves as a prime recipient of federal grant awards from the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. The organization provides comprehensive business development services to women entrepreneurs, particularly those from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with a focus on removing discriminatory barriers in access to capital and business resources. Through its federal grant awards, Womenventure delivers training, counseling, technical assistance, and financial services designed to support women-owned small businesses and underserved communities across Minnesota.
Womenventure's federal grant portfolio demonstrates sustained support from two primary funding agencies and encompasses multiple program streams. From the SBA's Office of Entrepreneurial Development, the organization has received recurring Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements totaling $150,000 to $300,000 per award under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance program (CFDA 59.043), supporting the establishment and operation of Women's Business Centers and delivering entrepreneurial development services tailored to women entrepreneurs. The SBA's Office of Capital Access has awarded Womenventure multiple Formula Grants and Project Grants under the Microloan Program (CFDA 59.046), ranging from approximately $115,000 to $214,000, enabling the organization to provide direct microloans of up to $50,000 to startup and growing small businesses, along with business training and technical assistance focused on working capital, inventory, equipment, and fixtures. Additionally, the Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund has provided substantial project grants, including a significant $1.8 million COVID-19 Rapid Response Program award in 2021, along with ongoing support through the CDFI Financial Assistance program and Small Dollar Loan Program (CFDA 21.025), enabling Womenventure to expand lending and investment activities in low-to-moderate income communities, establish loan loss reserves, build organizational capacity, and provide alternative small dollar lending to underbanked populations. All awards have been direct to Womenventure as the prime recipient with no subrecipient arrangements documented.
