Week of May 4th: Pitch Competitions, Grants, Accelerators and Beauty Summer School
Stop waiting for the right time to apply. Take a chance and bet on yourself.
Earlier this week, I shared a list of grants for women-owned businesses without deadlines. Did you have a chance to browse through it?
Not your thing? Don’t worry; I plan to create more of these types of lists, so stay tuned.
While creating this newsletter, I’m jamming out to some tunes, and that got me thinking — what songs would you add to your grant writing playlist?
Leave a comment below, and I’ll add your pick to our Grants For Creators playlist.
Now down to business — let’s get to the money!
