Grant Overview

Target Outcomes for Nova Scotia Micro Grants

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 Nova Scotia who are pursuing entrepreneurial, creative, or nonprofit endeavors. The primary target outcomes of this grant program are to foster economic growth, promote cultural development, and enhance community engagement among Black women in the province.

Economic Empowerment through Entrepreneurship

One of the key outcomes prioritized by this grant program is the empowerment of Black women entrepreneurs in Nova Scotia. The province has a growing number of women-led businesses, particularly in the African Nova Scotian community. By providing micro grants of $500 each, the program seeks to support the launch and growth of businesses that contribute to the local economy. The Department of Business, Trade and Industry, along with the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration, are key state agencies that can provide additional resources and support to successful applicants.

Cultural Preservation and Promotion

The grant program also aims to promote cultural development among African and Caribbean women in Nova Scotia. The province has a rich cultural heritage, shaped by its history as a hub for African Nova Scotians. By supporting creative projects and initiatives that celebrate this heritage, the program seeks to preserve and promote the cultural identity of Black women in the region. The unique cultural landscape of Nova Scotia, with its blend of African, Caribbean, and Canadian influences, is a distinguishing feature that sets it apart from other regions.

Community Building and Networking

Another important outcome of the grant program is the creation of opportunities for networking and community building among Black women entrepreneurs and creatives in Nova Scotia. By supporting projects that bring people together and foster collaboration, the program aims to build a stronger, more connected community of women who can support and uplift one another. The geographic feature that distinguishes Nova Scotia, its coastal economy and rural communities, presents both opportunities and challenges for community building and economic development.

The Micro Grants for African and Caribbean Women Entrepreneurs program is designed to address the specific needs and priorities of Black women in Nova Scotia. By targeting economic empowerment, cultural preservation, and community building, the program seeks to create a positive impact on the lives of women who are building or growing projects that benefit their communities.
