Lord Mayor's Women in Business Grants Now Open

The Gold Coast City Council is once again investing in the success of local women in business, and this is an opportunity worth sharing with your network.

Women-led businesses on the Gold Coast have a timely opportunity to access funding support, with the 2026 Lord Mayor's Women in Business Grant now open for applications.

Eligible applicants can apply for grants of up to $5,000 in non-matched funding to support business growth through training, essential equipment, and professional services. Since 2021, the program has supported more than 260 women-led enterprises across the region.

If you know a women-led business that could benefit, encourage them to apply sooner rather than later. Find out more about the grant and eligibility criteria here.

At MCC, we're passionate about seeing local businesses thrive — and grants like this one can make a real difference. If you're connected to a women-led business that could use this boost, please pass this along. Every bit of support counts when you're building something great.
