Our mission is to unleash creativity in young people. A young person who is creative is confident, comfortable with the unknown and a curious, life long learner. These are key attributes needed to sail the open seas and confront an uncertain future with increasingly complex challenges. Creativity is the core capability needed to navigate a world of increasing uncertainty, and we believe it should be cultivated in all young people.
Our mission is to unleash creativity in young people. We believe creativity is necessary for young people to navigate and shape the future. We execute this mission through grant giving.
Protostars is a micro-grant program for young people with passion projects. We give young people under 25 from AU/NZ, $1000 to work on their passion projects!
We offer project-based funding for groups, individuals and organisations who are working to unleash creativity in young people at scale.
The impact we create through grant giving can only go so far. But we believe that stories and community are infinitely scaleable. Through storytelling, we hope to inspire others to be creative.
These are some of the people, projects and organisations that we've funded and supported. Learn more about them and their wild ideas!
