OCHF Business Growth Grant – Cycle 2 Special Edition: Win Up to ₦1,000,000 for Your Business

If you have been looking for free money to grow your business, this one is worth your full attention. The Ojeri Nkporo Charity Foundation (OCHF) is back with a bigger, better round of its Business Growth Grant — and this time, the stakes are higher.

About the Programme

The OCHF Business Growth Grant is an initiative by the Ojeri Nkporo Charity Foundation designed to empower small business owners and emerging founders who need financial support to expand their ventures and strengthen their operations.  

Cycle 1 supported entrepreneurs with ₦500,000 each. Cycle 2 — Special Edition is stepping it up, with grants ranging from ₦500,000 to ₦1,000,000. This is non-repayable funding — meaning you don't pay it back. You just use it to grow.

The grant money can be used to improve business processes, purchase equipment, invest in marketing, or expand product and service offerings. In short, you decide where the money makes the most sense for your business.

One key detail from the flyer: finalists will be handpicked by the CEO and Founder of OCHF personally. This means your application needs to be clear, honest, and compelling.

Who Is It For?

The grant is open to existing businesses looking for growth capital as well as early-stage founders who already have validated business concepts. Nigerians both within the country and in the diaspora are eligible to apply, particularly entrepreneurs committed to scaling their businesses responsibly and transparently.
