KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Supreme Ventures Foundation (SVF) has initiated its fourth annual Supreme Community Hero programme, actively seeking public nominations to identify and honor Jamaica’s most dedicated community development champions. This prestigious initiative specifically targets microbusiness owners who demonstrate exceptional commitment to enhancing social sustainability within their local communities.
Nominations for the 2026 cohort are now officially open through the Foundation’s dedicated portal at sv-foundation.com, with the submission period extending until March 22, 2026. Following the nomination phase, a rigorous selection process will identify five exemplary individuals who will receive comprehensive support packages specifically designed to strengthen both their community impact and business sustainability.
Heather Goldson, SVF Director, emphasized the program’s dual focus on financial support and skill development: “Our foundation remains committed to delivering not just capital investment but also essential capacity-building tools that ensure long-term success. Countless Jamaicans are performing extraordinary community work with minimal resources. This initiative aims to identify these unsung heroes, assist them in developing sustainable business models, and provide additional resources to amplify their positive impact.”
Tishauna Mullings, Chief Success Officer of NexxStepp Lifelong Educational Services and recognized as the 2025 Supreme Hero, exemplifies the program’s transformative potential. Her achievement followed months of intensive training, professional development, and implementation of impactful community projects.
The selection process involves collaborative efforts with Changemakers Limited, which conducts thorough background verification of nominees, and the Mona Entrepreneurial and Commercialisation Centre (MECC), which delivers specialized retooling training courses to all five selected heroes. The Foundation expresses particular enthusiasm for this fourth cohort, noting the consistent success and accomplishments of previous participants.
