Non-profits urged to apply for WBC grants

The U.S. Small Business Administration is seeking eligible private, non-profit organizations (501c) in Mississippi interested in hosting a Women’s Business Center to apply for grants.

Mississippi was one of only a few states that was not a recipient from the last round of potential grantees, therefore the door of opportunity has been reopened, off the normal cycle, by SBA, in order for the agency to have another opportunity to get a WBC in the state.

A key criterion is that the organization must have provided technical assistance to women entrepreneurs. Many more specifics are included in the announcement which has been posted on www.grants.gov.

It is critical that the instructions are followed as stated in the program announcement and that the proposal be completed in its entirety prior to timely submission. The deadline to submit a proposal is 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time, Jan. 28.

Proposals responding to this program announcement must be posted to www.grants.gov. No other methods of submission will be permitted.
