This grant targets women of color who are building community-impacting businesses but struggling to secure capital. It’s not for big corporations or nonprofits—it’s for the early-stage founder who needs a push. The requirements focus heavily on ownership structure and revenue caps, so check those first. If you pass the basic checks, the real test becomes your narrative.

The Ownership and Revenue Rules

You must own at least 51% of your business, and you must identify as a woman of color. That is non-negotiable. Your business also needs to be registered in the United States and pulling in less than $1 million in gross revenue. If you are over that cap, you’ve likely grown past the target stage for this specific microgrant.

Who Cannot Apply

Do not apply if you run a nonprofit, a franchise, a direct selling operation, or work as an authorized reseller or independent consultant. The application form explicitly excludes these business models. It is better to find a different fit than to waste the administrative fee on an ineligible application.

What If You Are Unsure?

The lines can get blurry, especially if you are a consultant who also sells products or your revenue hovers right near the limit. If you are staring at the form and hesitating, get a second opinion. A quick expert review can save you the fee and a wasted month of waiting.
