Starbucks Community Action Fund for Young People

The Irish Youth Foundation and Starbucks have established a fund for young people in Dublin with BIG ideas – ideas that will make a difference in their local communities.

Applicants should be living in Dublin, aged between 15-19, and want to do something different.

There  are five awards of €2,000 (and each of the five winners will have a further opportunity to pitch for another €2,000 award). 

Important deadlines are:

• Monday 21st June, when we need to have ideas from and by young people, aged 15-19, sent in to us.
• Thursday 1st July, when we are hosting a fun workshop for young people on creating and presenting ideas.
• Friday 23rd July, when funding proposals from young people about their best ideas, are sent in to us.
• Tuesday 3rd August when some young people will be asked to pitch their brilliant ideas for the money to make them happen.
• An awards event will be held in September to celebrate the five winning ideas and to hand over the money.
