Stories From Tomorrow Fund
Stories From Tomorrow is a unique, interactive social media fundraising initiative supporting children around the world by empowering and uplifting their voices to a global platform.
Our mission is to activate self-expression and hear the voices of young people for the sake of their well-being (and ours), and amplify their voices as loudly as we can.
No matter the state of the world - pandemic, global demonstrations, crippling poverty - children benefit from self-expression and feeling heard. It is healing to write, exciting to share and transformative to be heard. Everyone needs a creative outlet, especially in stressful times. We hope to offer children and youth a platform for expressing themselves through storytelling - and to share their messages with the world.
In partnership with Pledgeling, the campaign will raise funds to support Feeding America’s child hunger programs and Room to Read’s literacy and girls’ education programs, helping to ensure that the world’s most vulnerable children have access to essentials.
Every donation will be split evenly between Feeding America and Room to Read.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
We are inviting children and youth (ages 5-18) to write an original story or poem for the chance to have it read on Instagram (@storiesfromtomorrow) by admired individuals from all walks of life. Some faces you will recognize and some you will not, but all care deeply about the voices of children. Sharing their own writing and having it performed by admired public figures lets kids know that their lives are important, their voices matter, and we all care about them - no matter where they are. All stories should be submitted by email to: storiesfromtomorrow@gmail.com
Our tomorrow is being written in the imaginations of our children today. Help us invest in a brighter, healthier and happier tomorrow.
Visit @storiesfromtomorrow and follow #storiesfromtomorrow on Instagram to see childrens' original stories read by performers.
