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
