Webinar Wednesday: How to Grant write as a Queer Entrepreneur

Running a queer-owned business is an act of resistance. Every day you open your doors or launch your services you are proving that our community belongs in the marketplace. But let’s be real: resistance is exhausting when you’re underfunded.

If you’ve been DIY-ing your growth, maxing out personal credit cards, or skipping your own paycheque because you think grants are “just for non-profits,” this 60-minute session is your wake-up call. If you aren’t applying, you’re not only missing out, you’re leaving possible money on the table.

You will learn 1) what types of grants are available to for profit businesses, 2) how to assess your eligibility, 3) where to find relevant opportunities, and 4) how to prepare a strong application. You’ll leave with clearer direction, practical next steps, and greater confidence to pursue funding that supports your growth rather than hinders it.
