SLP Youth Microgrants for Sustainability
SLP Youth Microgrants for Sustainability give students the opportunity to turn their ideas for a better planet into real, measurable impact. How? With funding, mentorship, and technical support that mirror the tools of entrepreneurs changing the world today.
Big ideas start early. The future belongs to those who build it, and this is where it begins.
Our vision? Fueling young entrepreneurs today for catalytic change tomorrow.
Every solution that reshaped the world began as an idea. The SLP Youth Microgrants for Sustainability give students aged 16 – 21 the means to act on theirs.
Through micro catalytic grants, students design and implement sustainability projects, tackling real-world challenges like circularity, clean energy, or sustainable food systems, while learning what it takes to lead, innovate, and scale impact.
Each microgrant combines capital, knowledge, and mentorship, helping young innovators build the skills and confidence of future entrepreneurs – through hands-on experience.

Strengthen ESG and sustainability outcomes
Microgrants translate funding into measurable environmental and social impact, supporting ESG goals with clear evidence of outcomes and learning.
Bolster impact at the grassroots level
Each AED 500 grant acts as catalytic capital, empowering students to test, implement, and refine solutions directly within their communities.
Leave a lasting legacy
Your support helps transform early ideas into scalable solutions, building long-term capability in sustainability, innovation, and systems thinking.
How our partnership works
Organisations and institutions can co-create their own Youth Microgrant with SLP, focusing on sustainability themes that align with their mission, from biodiversity to clean water.
All funds go directly to students. 100% of what you give creates opportunity and measurable environmental impact.
We implement the partnership, delivering microcourses, organising grant clinics, and supporting each student’s vision to help them take their idea to action.
The impact of each student’s work is monitored and reported, to deliver to you, a comprehensive Youth Microgrant report.
Partnership in action
Join leaders like Arabian Gulf Steel Industries (AGSI), who launched the AGSI Youth Microgrant for Circularity committing AED 100,000 in microgrants to help 200 young people in the UAE solve local community challenges through circular design.
