Up to 30,000 in Grants for Business Women that Operate in NYC from Tischelle George, Department of Small Business Services
Hello everyone,
Help me get this message out to all of the women you know who own their own businesses and operate in NYC. In my newly appointed position with the Department of Small Business Services, I'm going to be working closely with the Commission for Women's Issue on its NYC Small Business Awards for women entreprenuers. Winners can get up to $30,000 in grants and services to do what they already love to do--be their own bosses and run businesses that are important and relevant to the city.
From my insider's perspective I've learned that there are only about 50 applicants so far. This is a great opportunity to get in on. There are some criteria that needs to be met. You can check out the particulars on this web site: http://nyc.gov/html/cwi/smallbiz/
The deadline has been extended to Nov. 15. Get your applications in. There's money out there to be had, so let's all cash in on this opportunity.
Pass the word on to your friends and family.
Thanks,
Tischelle George
