The Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988 created the first demonstration project grant program to train prospective and current women entrepreneurs.

In 1991, the program was expanded to include reaching out to women who were socially and or economically disadvantaged. Under the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997, the Women’s Demonstration Program became known as the Women’s Business Center (WBC) Program.

In June 2000, The North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development received funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration to implement a Women’s Business Center for North Carolina. The Institute was one of eight (8) non-profit organizations nationwide to receive this funding for the year 2000. There are currently over 80 funded centers in the United States.
