Lab Grown Grant Program
Empowering Women-Owned Businesses
About the Lab Grown Grant Fund
At The Aroma Labs, we understand the challenges that come with growing a small business. As a 100% women-owned and operated company, we know how difficult it can be to find financial support and mentorship when you’re just starting out. That’s why we created the Lab Grown Grant Fund—to help other women entrepreneurs on their journey, giving them the support we know they need to succeed.
Our mission is to offer financial resources and guidance to small, women-owned businesses in the early stages of growth. The Lab Grown Grant Fund is here to uplift those who are innovating in their fields and making a positive impact in their communities. With every purchase from our Signature Scent Collection, a portion the proceeds goes directly into the Lab Grown Grant Fund, supporting small, women-owned businesses through financial assistance and mentorship. Each scent in the collection reflects the unique energy of the city it’s named after, and every bottle you buy contributes to building the future of women entrepreneurs.

How the Grant Works
Eligibility
The Lab Grown Grant is available to 100% women-owned small businesses in Michigan or in cities where The Aroma Labs has a presence, like Chicago. Businesses must be in the goods and services sector, have been operating for 1-3 years, and have an annual revenue of $250,000 or less.
How to Apply
We’ve made the application process simple. Scroll down to the form below, where you’ll provide:
-
A brief description of your business (mission, vision, and target market).
-
Your financials (revenue, expenses).
-
How you would use the grant funds to grow your business.
-
Why your business deserves the grant, with a focus on innovation and community impact.
Grant Milestones
We award grants as we hit sales milestones. For example, once we’ve sold $1,000 or 200 units of product from the Signature Scent Collection, we will award our first $1,000 grant to a deserving business. As the fund grows, so will the size of the grants and the number of recipients.
Selection Process
Each application will be reviewed by a panel of business advisors, internal team members, and women entrepreneurs. We prioritize businesses that offer innovative products or services and have a meaningful impact on their community.
