Funding the Future of Women Entrepreneurs Together
A Stronger California Starts With Women-Owned Businesses
Behind every thriving community is a woman with a vision — a side hustle becoming a storefront, a childcare provider filling a local gap, a manufacturer creating jobs. California Women’s Business Centers (CA WBCs) make that vision possible every day.
We’re raising $5 million in multi-year, unrestricted support to expand equity, scale impact, and strengthen California’s entrepreneurial backbone — one center, one community, one woman at a time.
Why Your Support Matters
California Women’s Business Centers (CA WBCs) are economic multipliers—not just grant recipients. Operating on lean budgets that average just $600,000, each center serves hundreds of women entrepreneurs every year. Most have no full-time fundraising staff, yet they consistently secure an impressive 80% grant success rate.
Your support fuels the stories behind the statistics like:
- A startup that grows to become the main employer in town
- A local maker expanding into a manufacturing brand
- A woman rebuilding her business—and her community—after disaster strikes
