Business Grants
for African American Women
A grant is a monetary award not requiring repayment. There are many business grants available to African American women. According to the National Institute of Business Grants, the federal government does not give business grants. Those looking for grants should look to their local governments for assistance. Here is a list of resources where entrepreneurs can get information on business grants for African American women.
