We’re all about encouraging creativity and self-expression, so we want to hear how you’re doing just that in your community! We know there are many ways to eat our cheese snacks, just like there are many ways to make a difference. This is why we developed the Build a Bright Future vision grants: To help amplify your creative passions and fund your ideas — letting you build a brighter future for yourself and your community.

What’s up for grabs?

Five winners will each win a $5,000 vision grant, along with educational prizes to help bring their creative dreams to life. We know that all young creatives need help taking their ideas to the next level, so our program partner, WIT (Whatever It Takes), a nonprofit organization that provides tweens and teens around the world access to entrepreneurial education and leadership development programs, will help do just that.

All winners will receive a one-year membership to the WIT Community, where they will participate in a four-week virtual entrepreneur educational program and an exclusive mentorship program, complete with access to CEOs and entrepreneurs who will offer advice and support. 

How to apply

Applications are open July 8 – August 31, 2024 and will be accepted through online submission at BuildABrightFuture.com. Applications will be judged based on an established rubric that takes creativity, merit and purpose into account when selecting the five winners.

United States-based teens ages 13-17 can apply by creating a short video and answering a few questions about how they’ll use their creativity as a force for good. All winners will be notified in early fall 2024 and be contacted through the email address provided on their application.
