Apply for the Leventis Foundation Youth Agripreneur Grant (₦2M Funding)

Applications are now open for the Leventis Foundation Youth Agripreneur Grant 2025 — Up to ₦2 Million Funding Available. Young agripreneurs across Nigeria now have an exciting opportunity to access financial support and mentorship through the Agricultural Youth Summit (AYS) 2025 Grant, a collaborative initiative by the Leventis Foundation Nigeria (LFN) and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The programme is designed to empower emerging farmers and agriculture-driven entrepreneurs with up to ₦2 million in grant funding. Beyond the financial boost, the initiative seeks to encourage innovation, strengthen food systems, and promote sustainability within Nigeria’s agricultural sector.

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Nigeria’s economy and the largest employer of labour. However, access to capital continues to be a major challenge for young people with promising agribusiness ideas. The Leventis Foundation Youth Agripreneur Grant goes beyond providing funds—it serves as a launchpad for visibility, mentorship, and networking. Beneficiaries will gain exposure to key players in the agribusiness ecosystem while presenting their innovative ideas to a national audience.

• Be Nigerian youths currently engaged in or planning to launch an agribusiness venture.
