Working Women Foundation

Working Women Foundation Non-Profit supporting female entrepreneurs and executives through mentoring and start-up grants. The Working Women Foundation may be able to help!

Over the past decade, the number of women-owned companies has grown at a rate five times faster than the national average, with Florida leading the way. At Working Women of Tampa Bay, we believe this movement is not only something to be celebrated but something to be cultivated moving forward. That’s why we created the Working Women Foundation: to build a supportive community of mentors and offer

start-up grants to women entrepreneurs. By working together, we can continue our efforts to educate, motivate and inspire women in Florida to achieve their business goals. Are you a new entrepreneur who needs a little help getting your business off the ground? Or a more experienced entrepreneur who wants to start a new project for your company? We award a woman small businesses $1000 in seed money once a month through our Power of 100 project. Check out our website for details.

A wonderful testimonial from “I’m incredibly grateful to the Working Women Foundation for awarding me seed money and the opportunity to showcase my business at their recent Women in Business Expo. The exposure I received was amazing—it connected me with new customers, fellow entrepreneurs, and supporters who truly believe in empowering women-owned businesses. This experience has been a game-changer for my growth, and I can’t thank the Foundation enough for their support.” 🩷🩷🩷

We love hearing positive feedback from our pitchers! This is from $1000 winner of : “My coaching experience with Lynn and Cassidy was nothing short of extraordinary. Navigating the world of small business ownership is difficult, but with their help, I felt confident and prepared going into my pitch competition. Support comes in many sizes, and I am so glad to have been on the receiving end of Working Women of Tampa Bay’s! Now, I am being showered with invites, events, networking connections and even more support than I could have ever dreamed of. Not only do I feel welcome and appreciated, but I feel lifted and excited for everything to come!”
