Opportunity Information: Apply for OWBO 2017 02
The Women's Business Center Renewal Grant is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) designed to support the continued operation of existing Women's Business Centers through a cooperative agreement. The funding falls under the Business and Commerce activity category (CFDA 59.043) and is specifically structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the SBA anticipates having an ongoing, active role in guiding or collaborating with award recipients during the project period rather than simply issuing funds with minimal involvement. The opportunity is identified as OWBO 2017 02, reflecting administration through SBA's Office of Women's Business Ownership (OWBO).
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the IRS and that are not institutions of higher education. This eligibility boundary indicates the program is geared toward community-based nonprofit operators that provide direct entrepreneurial assistance rather than academic entities. While the short description references a synopsis, the title and program identity point clearly to renewal support, meaning the intent is to continue or strengthen established Women's Business Center services rather than seed brand-new centers.
Key funding details include an award ceiling of $150,000 per award and an anticipated total of 36 awards. The opportunity record shows it was created on June 9, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 11, 2017. In practical terms, the ceiling suggests the SBA set a maximum amount available to any single recipient under this competition, and the expected number of awards signals the agency's planning assumption for how many centers or operators it expected to fund under the renewal round.
Overall, this grant opportunity supports nonprofit operators working to deliver small business counseling, training, and technical assistance typically associated with Women's Business Centers, with the SBA maintaining a collaborative role through the cooperative agreement structure. The program is positioned as a continuation mechanism to sustain and enhance existing service capacity for women entrepreneurs and women-owned small businesses within their communities.Apply for OWBO 2017 02
