This weekend's newsletter is sponsored by Blackbird Foundation.
I had the pleasure of collaborating with the folks at the Foundation earlier this year, when I interviewed Lucy Turnbull at Blackbird's Sunrise festival. The Foundation is attached to Blackbird Ventures (Australia's largest VC fund), and does excellent work unleashing the ambition of young Aussies and Kiwis.
Blackbird Foundation is giving away 3x $10,000-20,000AUD Believer grants for Australian-based organisations and groups that will nurture creativity in young people.
This is a different grant from the one I shared in last weekend's email. Blackbird Foundation's Believer grant supports organisations who, in turn, want to foster young Aussie creative talent. As an organisation, your grant-project could look like anything from a neighbourhood community science lab to a robotics competition to a co-working holiday house for artists.
