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.

What's 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 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

Sprint Projects

Don’t want to manage your own project? Join a Sprint! Sprints are short-term grants that are community-wide and led by PASTA HQ

Theme-Based

Grantees join a sprint with a shared theme

Each person (or team) creates their own unique project tied to the theme and executes it on their own

Event-Based

Grantees work together to run one big program.

Each person or team takes on a specific role—like planning a booth or day activity.
