Women’s Business Development Council Ignite Grant Applications due

WBDC’s Ignite grant provides a groundbreaking opportunity for women-owned businesses in Connecticut. Since 2020, WBDC has awarded grants totaling more than $3.3M to 365 women-owned businesses across every county in the state.

Through the Ignite grant program, we offer cash grants ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 to qualified women-owned small businesses in Connecticut for clearly defined projects that will have a measurable impact on the business, its growth, and profitability.

A new Ignite application period runs from February 3 through March 10, 2025. Interested in applying? Get started by reviewing the information and resources on the Ignite page of the WBDC website.

WBDC offers a variety of sessions that provide additional support for you in the application process. Information and links to registration are below.
