Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Empowering Women Entrepreneurs in New Brunswick
The Micro Grants for African and Caribbean Women Entrepreneurs program, funded by About Her Culture, aims to support women of African and Caribbean descent in New Brunswick who are pursuing entrepreneurial, creative, or nonprofit endeavors. The program's primary objective is to empower these individuals to build or grow projects that have a positive impact on their communities. To achieve this, the program will provide multiple micro-grants of $500 each to selected applicants.
The target outcomes of this program are multifaceted. Firstly, it seeks to increase the number of women-led businesses and projects in New Brunswick, particularly those that cater to the needs of African and Caribbean communities. By providing financial support, the program aims to help these businesses overcome initial start-up costs, thereby enhancing their viability and potential for growth. For instance, the New Brunswick Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour has initiatives that support entrepreneurship and business development, which aligns with the program's objectives.
Secondly, the program aims to foster a sense of community among African and Caribbean women entrepreneurs in New Brunswick. By bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds and industries, the program seeks to create a network of like-minded women who can share experiences, resources, and support one another. The province's unique demographic feature, with a significant number of residents living in rural areas, presents both challenges and opportunities for these entrepreneurs. The program's focus on empowering women in these areas can help address some of the regional disparities.
Lastly, the program is expected to contribute to the local economy by promoting innovation and creativity. New Brunswick's economy has historically been driven by industries such as forestry and manufacturing, but there is a growing need to diversify and support emerging sectors. By supporting women-led businesses, the program can help stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and increase the province's economic resilience. The region's coastal economy also presents opportunities for entrepreneurs in sectors such as tourism and fisheries.
The outcomes of this program will be measured through a combination of metrics, including the number of businesses supported, the number of jobs created, and the overall impact on the local economy. The program will also monitor the progress of awardees and provide support where necessary to ensure their success.
Measuring Success in New Brunswick
To measure the success of the Micro Grants for African and Caribbean Women Entrepreneurs program, About Her Culture will track several key performance indicators (KPIs). These will include the number of applications received, the number of grants awarded, and the types of projects supported. The program will also conduct regular check-ins with awardees to monitor their progress and provide support where necessary.
One of the key challenges in measuring success will be assessing the long-term impact of the program. To address this, About Her Culture will work with relevant state agencies, such as the New Brunswick Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, to track the progress of awardees over time. This will involve collecting data on the number of businesses that remain operational, the number of jobs created, and the overall economic impact of the program.

In conclusion, the Micro Grants for African and Caribbean Women Entrepreneurs program has the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of women entrepreneurs in New Brunswick.
