The Startup Assistance Grant Supports Emerging Women Entrepreneurs and existing women-owned businesses. The Education and Mentoring is year round.
The Metro Omaha Women’s Business Center (MOWBC) invites you to lead the community in supporting women entrepreneurs and professional women transitioning to business ownership by sponsoring our seventh annual Masquerade Ball & Auction.

Founded by BC Clark in 2008, MOWBC is a leader in the metro area in supporting women; entrepreneurs, business owners, career professionals, moms and young entrepreneurs girls(YEG) 12 years and over. Over 5,000 women have benefited from our programs over the past eight years. Some of our programs include Business Forum Breakfasts, Lunch & Learns, Success Series workshops, Presentations, educational seminars, various business social/networking events, and our premier annual event–the Start-up Assistance Grant Masquerade Ball & Auction. We strive to educate, inspire and empower women by bridging connections with other businesses, by providing educational and vendor opportunities, and by promoting awareness of community resources.

To further connect and assist women, we are hosting our seventh annual Ball on Saturday, March 24, 2018 at the Omaha Marriott Ballroom in Regency. We will offer a variety of music, comedy, dinner, a silent auction featuring unique items and a dynamic keynote speaker. Our first Ball granted Pink Store entrepreneur a $1,000.00 Start-up Assistance Grant and to date we have awarded $11,500 in Start-up Assistance.

This fun, special event will not only provide funding needed to award start-up grants, it will also help us further our vision in 2018 of providing educational training and mentoring for girls 12 to 19 with the entrepreneur spirit desiring to start a business.
