Opportunity Summary:
The Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship (VWISE) Program (Funding Opportunity Number: VWISE 2014 01) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) intended to support the continued operation of the VWISE National Entrepreneurship Training Program. The central goal of the program is to deliver entrepreneurship education and training specifically tailored to women veterans and transitioning service members who want to launch new small businesses. It also targets the spouses or companions of veteran small business owners who are looking to expand, diversify, or strengthen existing firms. In practical terms, the SBA is seeking a qualified organization to carry forward a national training effort that helps participants move from interest in entrepreneurship to real-world business planning, startup, and growth.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the SBA anticipates active involvement in the program beyond simply issuing funds and receiving reports. The opportunity is listed under the Business and Commerce activity category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 59.044, Veterans Outreach Program. The SBA expects to make a single award under this announcement, indicating that one lead institution will be selected to run or coordinate the national program rather than splitting the work across multiple grantees.
The total estimated funding for this opportunity is $1,300,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also set at $1,300,000. This signals that the SBA planned one fixed-size award at that amount, contingent on the availability of funds. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants may still have been able to propose leveraged resources depending on the full announcement requirements.
Eligibility is broadly described as open to public and private institutions, with the formal eligibility conditions referenced in the synopsis and in the announcement section titled "Additional Information on Eligibility." The posting date and creation date for the announcement are November 8, 2013. The application deadline was December 5, 2013 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, and the opportunity was archived on January 4, 2014. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Janet E. Moorman at the SBA Office of Veterans Business Development by phone at (202) 205-7419 or by email at janet.moorman@sba.gov.
