The Amber Foundation Grants began in 1998,
launched in conjunction with the entreprenuerial community for women, WomensNet.Net, to honor
the memory of a young woman who died in 1981,
at the age of 19.

The purpose of the Amber Grants is to help other
womena chieve the dreams that Amber could not
in her short time with us.

Finding money to start a small business - especially
money for women entrepreneurs and start-ups is
not easy - so we thought we would try to help a bit!

Our primary focus is assisting women who are
trying to start small businesses, home-based or
online. The grants are small, usually $500 to
$1000, and are intended to be used to upgrade
equipment, pay for a web site etc - the small but
essential expenses that can often make the
difference between getting started or being forever
stalled.

No repayment is required or expected, although
it is hoped that you will pass on the kindness by
mentoring & helping others along the way.

Although the grant program is run as a foundation
to the extent that we accept applications and award
grants, all grants come from private not government
or solicited donations or funds. In fact, to date, all
grants have come from my own personal "cookie
jar".
