Institutional Giving

Foundations often provide general support to Stardust Startups. This unrestricted support keeps our nonprofit humming, our outreach in the region ongoing, and our community connections fresh.

In some cases, institutional funders invest in specific areas that reflect their mission and align with Stardust’s priorities and climate-compatible, future-focused initiatives! This may include support for coverage of important subjects such as ecosystem health, sustainable communities, or climate change.

Become a Collaborative Partner

As a relatively young nonprofit, Stardust Startups North Carolina is eager to partner with like-minded firms who see the value of and support our work. Thus, we offer a range of sustaining sponsorship levels, with benefits that are tailored to your company’s needs.

If you’re interested, we would be happy to send you a table detailing all the sponsorship levels. If you think something is missing, let us know and we will be happy to collaborate with your team to design and develop a customized benefits package.

For VC firms or high-net-worth individual sponsors interested in considering Stardust microgrant recipients for additional investment, we offer startup pipeline access.
