WomensNet funds several women’s business grants throughout the year worth $435,000! They’ve found that some business categories are under-represented in winning grant money. For the month of May, they welcome applicants who fall under the Mental and Emotional Support Business and Organizations industry to apply for a $10,000 Business Category Grant.
Every woman entrepreneur who fills out her application is eligible for the $10,000 Amber Grant (for the month in which the application is submitted). But they have an additional $10,000 Business Category grant winner every month, too. | Apply
Women make up 70% of all therapists in the U.S., providing crucial help to people when emotional support, time management and work-life balance become challenging. Women in the field of mental and emotional support sometimes need financial help or even grants to expand their services, or stabilize their current business.
During May, a grant specific to women in the mental and emotional support industry will be given. | Learn More

The Dream is the second team in WNBA history to sell out their season ticket allotment after the defending champion Las Vegas Aces sold out in March.
All eyes are on the Dream team after they made the playoffs last season for the first time in five years. The upcoming season begins on May 14th.
Dream President and COO Morgan Shaw Parker said in a statement that excitement around women's sports, particularly basketball, is at an all-time high, and "nowhere is that felt more than in Atlanta."
Single tickets for all remaining games are on sale here. Note: They are only allowing Southeast residents from GA, FL, TN, AL, SC and NC for pre-sale tickets.
