IRMO, S.C. — The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering up to $300,000 in funding for businesses helping women veterans gain or refine the tools they need to become entrepreneurs.

According to the SBA, non-profits and businesses are eligible for the money if they already deliver entrepreneurship training and support to women veterans. The goal of the training is to enhance training initiatives for six recipients.

Clarissa Munford, who operates Clarrisa’s Kitchen, said she intends to apply for this program. 

“I hope that I’m one of the selectees so that I can do the things that I’m somewhat already doing, just not quite on that scale, and I think with this program, it’ll help us do what we need to do, resource-wise, etc.,” Munford said. “So, that we can offer the things that these women need, that support, that mentorship.”
