The Entrepreneurship Microgrant Program is designed to support African immigrant women who have the passion and drive to start or grow their businesses but face barriers in accessing the funding and resources they need. As new immigrants, many women encounter significant challenges in navigating the U.S. financial system, including limited access to credit, lack of business connections, and language or cultural differences that hinder their ability to secure traditional loans. This program aims to break down these barriers and empower women to take the next step in their entrepreneurial journey.

The $500 microgrant is a no-strings-attached gift to help African immigrant women kick-start or scale their businesses. Whether it's purchasing equipment, marketing, or covering operational costs, this grant provides the immediate support needed to help women turn their business dreams into reality. In addition to the financial assistance, recipients will receive three months of free mentoring and coaching, offering valuable guidance on business strategy, marketing, financial management, and more. This comprehensive support ensures that women are equipped not only with funding but also the knowledge and confidence to succeed.

Through this program, we aim to create a thriving community of African immigrant women entrepreneurs who can contribute to the U.S. economy and their local communities. The Entrepreneurship Microgrant Program is an opportunity to eliminate financial barriers and give women the tools they need to realize their full potential as business owners.
