Project Grant
Believers Grant

Believers is for the people, programs, and projects that are unleashing creativity in young people. We offer $5k to $25k grants.

Eligibility

  • Individuals, groups, organisations established in Australia and/or New Zealand

  • Projects that will take place in Australia and/or New Zealand

  • Projects that will be completed in 12-months

  • Projects whose core focus is primarily creative outcomes

  • Organisations with less than $1.5M in revenue

What

We're primarily looking for people and projects that unleash young people's creativity at scale.

We don't want to be prescriptive; we want to back wild ideas that explore the intersections of creativity, technology, science, media, storytelling, culture and arts. We have a high appetite for risk, and we're on the hunt for great people doing good work that creates magic.

The most prescriptive we'll be is that we are looking to fund projects going from 0-1 (just starting out) or 1-10 (scaling up or iterating and experimenting but with solid momentum and some wins under the belt so far).
