  • Business plan (max 10 pages, PDF or Word)
  • Short pitch video (2–3 minutes)
  • Valid means of identification (e.g. national ID, passport)
    These documents help RAHVAI assess both your concept and execution capacity.

Tips to make your Application Strong

Here are actionable suggestions to stand out:

  1. Be precise with your business stage
    Whether you’re at idea, startup, or established stage, make that clear. Tailor your plan and expectations to your current phase.
  2. Craft a strong, succinct business plan
    Use charts and headlines. A 10-page business plan is your chance to show vision, strategy, market, revenue model, risks, and scaling path.

    In 2–3 minutes, show the problem you solve, your product or service, why now, and why you. Be authentic and confident.
  4. Demonstrate community impact
    Grantors like RAHVAI are often interested in how business benefits local communities. Show how yours does or will.
  5. Outline sustainability beyond the grant
    Don’t just ask for money—show how you’ll grow, get revenue, and survive after the grant ends.
  6. Seek feedback
    Before submitting, have someone with business, grant, or proposal experience review and critique your application.
  7. Check your documents & tech
    Ensure your uploads are in correct format, video plays, and ID scans are legible.

  1. Go to the RAHVAI Entrepreneurship Grant Application Page: rahvai.org/entrepreneurship-grant-application (rahvai.org)
  2. Fill in all sections: personal, business info, motivation questions
  3. Upload required files: business plan, pitch video, valid ID
