Does Ontario provide small business grants specifically for women?

Small business grants for women are available through provincial, national governments, including that of Ontario. Assistance, including grant subsidies, is available to financially viable small business women in Ontario who can demonstrate a commitment to productivity gains, increased exports or import replacement, application of new technologies and innovative practices. The grant programs exist to support women small business owners starting new or established-but-growing small businesses, and such grants can apply for such things as expansion capital, purchasing new facilities or equipment, or advisory services. Government, non-repayable grants for women are distinct from loans and this can be extremely helpful for a small business owner. Grants can also be made available to women who wish to research a project or to establish a small business intended to assist other women.
