Founder of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD), Pastor Jerry Eze, has announced a major empowerment initiative through the Jerry Eze Foundation, revealing plans to disburse $300,000 in grants to 100 beneficiaries in 2026.

The popular preacher made the announcement in a video message shared with his followers, describing the programme as a youth-focused empowerment drive aimed at supporting innovative and practical business ideas across key sectors of the economy.

According to Pastor Eze, the initiative is designed to help young people either start new ventures or expand existing businesses in areas such as agriculture, technology, and manufacturing.

“Hello family, I am Pastor Jerry Eze, and 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 said.

He explained that the grant would target 100 young, driven individuals, with each successful applicant receiving a minimum of $3,000 to support or launch their business ventures.

“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,” Pastor Eze added.

To ensure credibility and transparency, the clergyman disclosed that the entire selection and disbursement process would be handled by an independent international consulting firm.

“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 stated.

Describing the announcement as a preview of greater initiatives to come, Pastor Eze referred to it as a “teaser,” hinting at broader spiritual and social interventions planned for the year.

He concluded by reaffirming the foundation’s commitment to holistic empowerment and encouraged the public to watch out for further details on how to apply.

“Jerry Eze Foundation caters for the total man. Keep watching the space as we bring you details of how this will happen. God bless you — for what our God cannot do does not exist,” he said.
