Lend Your Name
To a Generation.
A private circle of leaders in music, business and entertainment who put their name, network and generosity behind the next generation of African and global changemakers.
You don’t write a cheque into the void. You fund named schools, open a few doors in your network, and we turn that into real licences, real events and real climate impact — with the receipts to prove it.
Why You. Why Now.
You’ve built something. You know what it takes — the resilience, the team, the moment things click. Most young people never get to feel that. Blastbeat gives 14–18 year-olds a real business, a real event, real money and a real climate project — the closest thing to your own first break, run inside a school term.
After 23 years and 360,000 young people, the model is proven. Blastbeat V2 makes it scalable. What it needs now is a circle of people with the name, the network and the generosity to put real momentum behind it. That’s you.
This Isn’t a Donation. It’s a Legacy.
Patrons don’t disappear into an annual report. You get a named, visible, measurable relationship with the young people you back — and the platform to tell that story.
A named legacy
Name a cohort, an award, a regional chapter or the national finals. “The [Your Name] Cohort” — yours, on the record, year after year.
Tax-efficient giving
Give through the right Climate Actions Now entity for your region — Section 18A (South Africa), UK charity / Gift Aid (UK), or the Ireland company for Europe.
A story worth sharing
A ready-made content kit — film, photos, impact data and the students’ own Blastbeat TV episodes — so your audience sees the good you’re doing.
Access & experience
Front-row at the national finals, intimate student showcases, and the wider Blastbeat network — from Web Summit founders to the CAN group ventures.
Verified impact
Every term: a report tied to your named schools — students reached, profit generated, climate projects funded, UN SDGs touched. Receipts, not vibes.
Give a Little. Unlock a Lot.
The real power of a patron isn’t the cheque — it’s the doors you open. Here’s how one introduction becomes a school full of changemakers.
You twin
Fund one or more named schools through 2winAid — or simply lend your name as a founding patron.
You open doors
A warm intro to two or three companies in your network. That’s all we ask — the introduction.
We close
Our team handles the pitch and the paperwork. Those companies buy licences via 2winAid — ESG, BBBEE, Section 18A done.
Everyone wins
Schools run free programmes. Companies get verified impact. You get the legacy — named, multiplied, and on the record.
Prefer a commercial arrangement? Patrons who actively unlock licence revenue can direct a finder’s credit either to fund more schools in their name, or as an affiliate fee — your call.

You can give momentum.
