The Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering this grant to fund private, non-profit organizations dedicated to providing entrepreneurial development services. This grant is specifically for empowering women, with a strong focus on socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs in underserved regions of Alaska, where no existing Women’s Business Centers (WBCs) are present. Eligible applicants must be private, non-profit entities holding 501(c) tax-exempt status. The program particularly encourages applications from Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) such as HBCUs and HSIs, and also religious organizations, to ensure comprehensive reach to diverse and disadvantaged communities. The overall purpose is to foster economic growth and self-sufficiency among target populations through business support.

| Description: | The purpose of this FOA is to provide funding for up to one (1) private, non-profit organizations that will provide entrepreneurial development services to women, with an emphasis on socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs in locations that are outside of the geographical areas of existing WBCs for the State of Alaska (AK). Eligible applicants must be private, non-profit organizations with 501(c) tax exempt status from the U.S. Treasury’s Internal Revenue Service and must provide services to the State of Alaska (AK). An organization that is operating, or has operated an SBA funded WBC, within the past five (5) years, if selected, will be awarded as an Initial Phase Project. Likewise, an organization that previously operated an SBA-funded WBC (but that is no longer operating), if eligible to apply and selected, will also be awarded as an Initial Phase Project since this application will be treated as an effort to re-establish the WBC. Furthermore, recognizing the important role that Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) (e.g., Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCUs], Hispanic-Serving Institutions [HSIs] from the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities [HACU], and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Institutions [AANAPISIs]) play in meeting the needs of socially and economically disadvantaged markets, this program announcement seeks to encourage MSIs to provide entrepreneurial development services to socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs. MSIs, HBCUs, HSIs, HACU, AANAPISIs and their auxiliary entities are encouraged to apply. Additionally, religious organizations are encouraged to apply. Such organizations are not required to alter their religious character to participate in a government program, nor to cease engaging in explicitly religious activities outside the program, nor effectively to relinquish their Federal statutory protections for religious hiring decisions. Likewise, other organizations meeting the WBC program eligibility criteria, as well as other organizations serving socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs, are also encouraged to apply. Proposals responding to this FOA must be posted to www.Grants.gov by no later than11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on March 14, 2022. No other methods of submission are permitted. Proposals submitted after the stipulated deadline will be rejected without evaluation. Unless the applicant can clearly demonstrate through documentation obtained from Grants.gov that they attempted to submit their proposal in a timely manner but were unable to do so solely due to Grants.gov system issues. |
