The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced a $6 million grant competition to fund the Women’s Business Center (WBC) Modernization Initiative. This initiative aims to expand statewide support networks for women entrepreneurs in eight states and territories where WBC funding has lagged behind business growth: Florida, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, West Virginia, and Wyoming. The program will establish State Lead Centers supported by local Service Centers to provide counseling, training, and access to capital, helping more women start and grow businesses. Proposals are due by August 10, 2026, and the grants will overlay existing WBC funding without affecting current awards.
