The OWN Bahamas Foundation Grant Funding Program supports Bahamian entrepreneurs by providing financial assistance to launch or expand their businesses, with applicants required to submit a personal bio, business plan, and proof of citizenship.
Company Overview: A description of your product(s) or service(s) and the problem it solves, the target customers that you want to serve and why your business is right for the market. Financial Projections: Your anticipated revenue for the first 12 months and your annual projected earnings for the next two years. (If you have an existing business, please also indicate your previous earnings for the past two to five years). Request for Funding: The amount of money that you need to set up or grow your business and how you plan to use those funds to build or expand your business.
Applicants must be Bahamian citizens aged 18 years or older and submit a brief bio detailing their personal background and the inspiration behind starting their business. A copy of the applicant’s passport is required to verify citizenship and age eligibility. The business plan must comprehensively cover company overview, financial projections, and funding requirements as specified.
After submission, the OWN Bahamas selection committee reviews all applications and shortlists candidates for a formal interview. Successful applicants are announced publicly following the interview stage. All submissions receive a response within 30 days, though approval is not guaranteed. The foundation reserves the right to use submitted information for PR purposes and to revoke the grant if any information is found to be fraudulent, with the judges’ decision being final.
