"We know that there are many women out there who wish to start a home based business, but may not have the money to make it happen!" said Kristie Rimmele, founder of WebMomz. "We believe that women today can have it all. Having a home-based business enables women the freedom and flexibility to spend more time at home with their children and families. We believe this grant will help women to believe in the power of their dreams and help give them the financial means and inspiration to start their own business."

"As a work at home mother, I can tell you personally that owning my own home based business has allowed me to be there for my family and still have a career," says Michelle Floyd, co-founder of Webmomz. "I realize the importance of family, and have a firm desire to help other women have the same kind of success. We hope that this program will benefit women who are looking for a way to have more time with their family, and have the same kind of fulfillment and prosperity in their lives that a home-based business can offer."
