SOUP is a great way to raise money, build community support and get connections to local resources that can help you carry out your project.
Perth SOUP winners receive:
- A cash micro-grant on the night of the event, usually between $800 and $1500 (depending on attendance numbers and donations received!)
If you would like to apply to have your project featured at a Perth SOUP event (and potentially receive a micro-grant) please fill in the form advertsied on the Perth SOUP Facebook page.
Exactly one week before the next event we will email and call you to tell you if you will be presenting or not! If you don't get selected, don't worry, you will be kept in our applicant pool unless you ask to be removed.
If you have any questions email perth@globalshapers.org.au and our team will be in touch!
Applications close at 11:59pm on the one week before each SOUP! But don't worry, whenever you submit, your application will be held in our applicant pool.

HOW TO PITCH
While it might seem a bit daunting if you aren't an experienced public speaker, please don't worry! SOUP is meant to be casual and conversational. As long as you deeply understand your own project, people will understand you! We have found that some of our shyest presenters who were perhaps the least experienced speakers have taken home the grants.
Things you MUST do:
1. Keep your pitch under 4 minutes.
2. Be prepared to answer 4 questions from the audience.
3. Be very clear about exactly where the money would go if handed to you - we have noticed that it doesn't matter how great your idea is if you are too vague! You need to explain what items you will buy or what else you will pay for to enhance your project, using clear examples. If you don't do this, it is extremely unlikely that you will win the crowd vote.
