About Amber Grant Foundation

Honoring a Legacy. Empowering Entrepreneurs.

The Amber Grant was founded in 1998 to honor the memory of Amber Wigdahl, a special young woman who passed away at just 19 years old before she could realize her entrepreneurial dreams.

Since then, we have continued that legacy by providing grant opportunities to entrepreneurs and small business owners. Each month, three deserving entrepreneurs receive $10,000 Amber Grants, with additional annual grants of $25,000 awarded to selected previous monthly winners.

More than funding, we are building a community where entrepreneurs can access opportunities, resources, and encouragement to help their businesses grow and thrive.
