Seize your opportunity to open a storefront or office space. Is one of your goals to open up a retail space or office in San Francisco?

Due to the generous support of the City of San Francisco, Women’s Initiative has the privilege to launch its first “First-Time Leaseholder Grant for a Commercial Space” in 2007. Due to the success of the program, Women’s Initiative is delighted to announce that this amazing program is back for 2008!

To learn about The First-Time Leaseholder Grant, please see our Financial Services video.

Women's Initiative knows that coming up with the cash for rent and security deposit is hard. That’s why Women’s Initiative is now offering a First-Time Leaseholder Grant for San Francisco residents. A one- time grant of up to $10,000 will be given to qualified Women's Initiative graduates who are looking to open up a commercial space in San Francisco. Establish yourself in any neighborhood and find a space that meets your needs. Don’t let costs associated with lease-signing keep you back from opening your doors. Ready to apply now?
