Opportunity Information: Apply for WVETP 2020 01
The WOMEN VETERAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM (WVETP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) intended to expand high-quality entrepreneurship training for women in the military and veteran community. The program is designed for organizations that already have established training programs and can deliver structured, practical business education and assistance. The overall goal is to strengthen the creation and growth of small businesses owned by female veterans and spouses of veterans by providing training that helps participants launch new ventures, expand existing firms, and improve long-term business performance.
WVETP focuses on serving three main participant groups: female veteran small business owners and entrepreneurs, female transitioning service members who are preparing to move from military service into civilian life, and spouses of veterans. Training supported through this grant is expected to go beyond general business advice and produce measurable outcomes tied to real economic impact. The SBA emphasizes results such as new business starts, job creation or job retention, and income generation. In practical terms, applicants are expected to demonstrate that their instruction and support can help participants take concrete steps like forming a business, refining a business model, improving cash flow and profitability, increasing sales, hiring or keeping employees, and scaling operations in a way that contributes to local and regional economies.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number WVETP 2020 01 and the CFDA number 59.044, which identifies this SBA assistance program in federal grant systems. The opportunity category is listed as discretionary, and the funding instrument type is a grant, with the activity category falling under Business and Commerce. The announcement was created on February 19, 2020, and the original application deadline was March 19, 2020, indicating a roughly one-month application window for that cycle.
Awards under this opportunity were designed to be relatively substantial for training and technical assistance programs. The award ceiling was set at $300,000 per award, and the SBA anticipated making approximately six awards. These figures suggest a competitive selection process aimed at supporting a limited number of capable providers with enough funding to deliver meaningful programming, outreach, instruction, and follow-on support. While the eligibility line is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the core requirement highlighted in the description is that applicants should have established entrepreneurship training programs and the capability to serve the targeted populations with documented results.
In summary, WVETP is an SBA grant program that invests in proven training providers to deliver entrepreneurship education and support specifically tailored to female veterans, women transitioning from service, and veteran spouses. The program is outcomes-driven, prioritizing measurable gains like business formation, employment impact, and increased income, with the larger purpose of growing and sustaining women-led veteran and military-connected small businesses.Apply for WVETP 2020 01
