Spark Grants
Quick projects. Real impact. Student-led.
A Spark Grant is your chance to take an idea and make it real. It’s simple: you bring the idea, PASTA HQ provides the boost.
Whats in a Spark?
- Your Idea → the heart of the project
- Support → a consultant to guide you along the way
- Funding → money to help cover supplies and basics
Together, that means you can actually pull it off.
Examples of Spark Projects
Hosting a one-day game night for younger kids
Making care kits with snacks or school supplies
Leading a craft, sports, or STEM activity
Organizing a “kindness notes” campaign at school
Why Students Love Sparks:
- Fast: most take just a few weeks to plan and complete
- Simple: no complicated approvals or big budgets
- Impactful: every project makes life better for kids in your community
