Start a Snowball Invites Applications for Youth Philanthropy Projects
Start a Snowball, Inc. encourages kids of all ages to engage in philanthropic and community service activities. The organization believes that even one child with the right intentions and support can start a project that seems small in the beginning and eventually grows (“snowballs”) into something that inspires and benefits an entire community.
In order to help kids kick off their philanthropy efforts, Start a Snowball awards $100 in seed funding for projects taken on by individuals or organizations.
To be eligible, projects must be led by youth between the ages of 5 and 18 and have the intention of doing good.
Start a Snowball does not give directly to collection funds. The organization also does not provide support for fundraisers for sports teams, unless they serve an underserved or disadvantaged group, or support projects that are discriminatory or political in nature.
Visit the Start a Snowball website for complete program guidelines and separate application instructions for individuals and organizations.
