Pastor Jerry Eze, founder of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations b, has announced an ambitious empowerment initiative through the Jerry Eze Foundation, unveiling plans to distribute a $300,000 grant to 100 beneficiaries in 2026. The programme aims to provide practical support to young individuals who are eager to launch or expand businesses across key sectors of the economy.
“Hello family, I am Pastor Jerry Eze, I come bearing good news. The Jerry Eze Foundation this year will be rolling out an empowerment grant of about 300,000 US dollars,” he stated, highlighting the scope and significance of the programme for young entrepreneurs and innovators across Nigeria and beyond.
Pastor Eze explained that the grant would target approximately 100 driven young people who have a strong desire to make a positive impact in their respective industries. Each selected beneficiary would receive at least $3,000, which could be used either to strengthen an existing business or to establish a new venture from the ground up.
“These will seek to touch the lives of about a hundred young persons who are interested in doing something phenomenal in agriculture, in technology and of course in manufacturing,” he said, noting that “the grant will see that each and every one of them will get at least three thousand dollars to support businesses or help them pioneer businesses in technology, in manufacturing or in agriculture.”
To ensure full transparency and accountability in the selection and distribution process, Pastor Eze revealed that an independent and reputable international consulting firm would oversee the programme. This measure, he said, is intended to maintain the integrity of the initiative and to ensure that funds reach the most deserving candidates.
“This is going to be handled by a reputable international consulting firm. They will be the ones in charge of the process to ensure transparency and openness,” he added, underlining the foundation’s commitment to fairness and proper administration of resources.
Pastor Eze described the announcement as a preliminary insight into a broader plan of action, calling it a “teaser” for larger developments that the foundation will roll out throughout the year. He conveyed optimism that the initiative reflects a wider vision of spiritual and social impact for 2026.
“All I’m asking is to bring you the news before the big news. This is a teaser,” he said, adding that “I believe that God has so much to do for his people this year. This is just a part, this is us playing just a part and being a part of the big thing that God wants to do for people this year.”
The foundation’s focus, Pastor Eze said, is on holistic empowerment, catering to both the spiritual and practical needs of young people. He encouraged the public to stay tuned for more detailed information about the application process, selection criteria, and disbursement procedures. “Jerry Eze Foundation caters for the total man and keep watching the space as we bring you details of how this will happen,” he concluded, before adding an inspirational note: “God bless you for what our God cannot do does not exist.”
The announcement has already generated excitement among followers and potential beneficiaries, many of whom have expressed interest in participating in the programme and leveraging the grant to create sustainable businesses and innovations across Nigeria.
