CAN YOU GET THIS?

You need to be a startup or small business operating in Colombia with a focus on impact — especially rural areas, gender equity, or climate action.

You need to be a startup or small business operating in Colombia with a focus on impact — especially rural areas, gender equity, or climate action.

YOUR REAL ODDS

This is a competitive annual call now in its 4th round, meaning the program is established but the pool of qualified applicants is likely growing each cycle.

No public data on acceptance rates is available, but as a grant-plus-accelerator program backed by Global Affairs Canada, it attracts serious impact ventures across Colombia. Targeting a clearly defined focus area — rural regions, gender, or climate — likely improves your chances.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Confirm eligibility and focus area alignment (women-led, rural, climate, or food/ag) — 1–2 days

  2. Prepare your application via SVX Colombia's platform at svxcolombia.com — 1–2 weeks

  3. Submit before the deadline and await selection for technical assistance and grant support — Ongoing after submission

WORTH KNOWING

PAIIC offers both grants and technical assistance together — not just funding. The capacity-building component is designed to help you mobilize additional capital, so the program's value extends beyond the CAD 20K grant itself.
