The ₦6 million figure refers to the grant pool available through the initiative, not a guaranteed payment of that amount to every applicant. Entrepreneurs should read the application conditions and provide accurate details about their businesses.

WIMBIZ, which promotes women’s participation and leadership in management, business and public service, runs the Impact Investment programme as part of its wider work supporting female entrepreneurs. Its published programme description says the competition has focused on young Nigerian women running start-ups or businesses that have operated for fewer than three years. Applicants should confirm the eligibility conditions for the 2026 edition before submitting an application.

The 2026 opportunity lists October 23, 2026, as the application deadline. Women interested in applying should begin the process early to allow time to review the conditions and complete any required conference registration.

Applicants should note that the grant opportunity is competitive. Submitting an application does not guarantee funding, and any award will depend on the programme’s selection process and applicable criteria.
