The Joseph Ogungbemi Foundation has announced the opening of the JOF 2025 Business Grant Initiative, a program created to support young Nigerian entrepreneurs and small business owners. The foundation described the scheme as a kingdom-driven platform designed to fuel the dreams of creatives and purpose-driven individuals. According to the organisers, the initiative will provide financial support of up to ₦750,000 to help innovative ideas grow, expand existing ventures, and create meaningful impact within local communities.
The foundation stated that applicants must be Nigerian entrepreneurs or small business owners with a startup or existing business that shows clear growth potential. Organisers also explained that applicants must demonstrate how the grant will be used to expand their business and remain committed to using the funds strictly for business-related purposes.
All applicants must be JOF Tribe members between the ages of 18 and 40, own a startup, creative brand, or business that has been running for at least three months, and submit a two to three minute video pitch while agreeing to monthly mentorship.
The program offers several benefits, including business grants of up to ₦750,000, with ₦250,000 awarded to three outstanding winners. The foundation noted that successful applicants will also gain increased visibility, support to scale their ventures, and an opportunity to contribute to job creation and community development. The organisers confirmed that applications opened on October 1, 2025, with the deadline set for November 15, 2025. They further announced that the winners will be revealed at Alone With God 4.0 on December 5, 2025.
Interested applicants are expected to complete the JOF 2025 Business Grant Application form through the official online portal provided by the foundation. The organisers encouraged all eligible young entrepreneurs to apply early and carefully follow the instructions provided on the application page today.
