  The Grant at IIW used to be a once a year grant. After this past selection, the owner of IIW, Leah Oviedo, decided to make some changes in order to allow others more opportunities to receive this grant.

  As the first test subject in this newest approach to growing the grant, I consented to do several things. First, to tell people about the grant, organization and resources available at IIW. Second, to let people know that the recipient is a real person and let them learn more about who they would be supporting. Third, to encourage more members to join with the knowledge that $9 of each membership would go towards the grant fund. Lastly, to help grow this organization through word of mouth. I tell someone and they tell someone thereby growing exponentially. Thus allowing more exposure not just to IIW but to each potential grant recipient. Being that the memberships are restrictive to women, there needed to be a way to include support from friends, colleagues, family and spouses who happen to be men. Now they can be supportive, tell others and still help the women in their lives to grow their businesses.

  After talking with Leah, I agreed with her concepts and began telling others. I’ve been doing so through emails, posts, blurbs like the one I posted earlier today as well as links to IIW.

  Terry, I hope I answered all your questions and if I missed anything, please let me know. Thanks for asking and God bless.

  Very cool. I visited http://iiwomen.com/New/index.htm and you’ve been selected at the recipient of a Grant for Business Women. Quite Awesome. Please tell us how it all works. (Application, selection, funding, etc) – I tried to find out on the site and got confused. I want to understand how it works before contributing and promoting YOU, the grant & IIW site. Thanks for sharing this.

  Any support that can be given is needed. Not just financial but telling others and encouraging others to join, grow this organization and support the current members. Look around and see what’s available, who has things you need, who can you support, etc. Thanks for asking Terry and God bless.
