Find out more about their initiatives and reach out to support them!

Pitch 1 - Inspire Foundation

Pathfinder

Inspire Foundation Malta supports more than 1,700 individuals with disabilities and their families, working to build a more inclusive and compassionate society. Yet many families still begin their disability journey feeling lost, overwhelmed, and alone. Pathfinder seeks funding to expand its support by providing accessible information, community awareness initiatives, sibling projects, support groups, podcasts, and vital resources. Our mission is simple but powerful: no family should have to navigate disability alone. By empowering families with knowledge, connection, and understanding, we are providing support, restoring hope, strengthening resilience, and building a community where every family feels seen, supported, and valued.

Pitch 2 - MSPCA

Lifeline Safetynet

The MSPCA is highlighting the rising number of pets left without care due to economic hardship, elderly care placement, or family crises in Malta. We are seeking support to expand shelter capacity, rehabilitation, and responsible rehoming, ensuring these vulnerable animals are protected while strengthening community awareness and long-term solutions for pet welfare.

Pitch 3 - Canine Search & Rescue Unit - Order of Malta

Search & Rescue Operations Vehicle

We are pitching the acquisition of a dedicated disaster response vehicle that will strengthen our ability to respond rapidly to missing person cases. Equipped for search operations, first aid, and drone coordination, it will serve as a mobile response hub. We have already raised part of the funds and seek support to complete this life-saving investment.

Pitch 4 - Spark 15

Enhancing the Unity Club - Social Inclusion through Football

Spark15 is a Malta-based NGO that promotes inclusion and belonging between migrant and local communities. Founded by people who have experienced the challenges of starting life again in a new country, Spark15 creates spaces where communities meet through sport, culture, and shared experiences. From weekly activities to community events, our mission is simple: help people connect as teammates, neighbours, and friends. Through initiatives like the Spark Unity Cup, we bring people together to celebrate diversity and build stronger, more united communities in Malta. The Unity Cup is Spark15’s community football initiative in Malta, bringing together refugees, local communities and companies through sport. The project promotes social inclusion, well-being, and intercultural dialogue, using football as a tool to build connections, break down barriers and strengthen community cohesion in a positive, inclusive environment. The Pitch Fest support would directly enable sustainable impact for underserved communities while aligning closely with Malta’s priority SDGs.
