Make your passion project come to life

12 August 2021

You have the chance to get $1,000 to build your own project and join a community that helps you prosper.

Applications for the $1,000 grant sponsored by the Blackbird Foundation are now open. This program helps young, passionate Wild Hearts working on creative projects in Australia or New Zealand.

Whether you’re just starting out or working on your passion full time, Blackbird hopes these microgrants will supercharge your ambition and help you to take your passion to the next level.

Blackbird Foundation

Blackbird Foundation partners with organisations and groups that are working to develop creativity in young people.
