COVID-19: Support and Resources

Updated on July 17, 2020.

Alberta Women Entrepreneurs recognizes that the impacts of COVID-19 are significant for many small business owners. We’re here to support you during this period of uncertainty.

Here’s how:

  1. Meet with an AWE Business Advisor (remotely) at no cost

    An AWE Business Advisor can help you talk through your business strategy, your delivery model, and how to manage cash flow. They can also delve into marketing, talk about mindset management, connect you with other resources, and more.

  2. Access up to $40,000 as part of the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF)

    The Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF) will provide financial support directly to women-owned businesses to address COVID-19 impacts on their short-term stability. This financing will support small enterprises that are struggling with working capital needs and are unable to access larger federal relief funding programs or unable to obtain a loan/credit from traditional financial institutions.

  3. Join our upcoming webinars

    We’ve got several free online webinars lined up on topics such as writing a business plan, leading digital transformation, and determining readiness for entrepreneurship.

  4. Stay updated on COVID-19 resources for women entrepreneurs

    There’s a lot of information out there right now. We’re doing our best to organize valuable resources for women entrepreneurs and update it regularly.

The health and safety of our staff, our clients, and our community is our top priority. As such, any scheduled in-person events, workshops, and meetings are postponed until further notice.

We are dedicated to continuing to support women entrepreneurs in Alberta and will proceed with delivering webinars and online programming, remote advising sessions, and answering inquiries via email and telephone.

Please email info@awebusiness.com if you have any questions or concerns.
