Supporting Women in Business Grants 

The primary objective of Supporting Women in Business (SWIB) Grants is to address barriers and support women to achieve their purpose of starting or growing a micro or small business. The grants seek to increase women’s skills and confidence and to support them in achieving their business goals.


A variety of tailored projects will be funded, providing support, training, mentoring, networking skills and opportunities, assistance to access finance and business development support. Projects will be targeted to the nominated focus communities, responding to their specific needs, life stages and circumstances.


Funding for projects will vary within the range of $150,000 - $250,000 depending on the project model, the number of participants to be supported, and the level and intensity of services and supports provided to participants.
