Baltic Patron Project

august 2025

An annual contest that unites storytelling, empowerment, and charity impact across the Baltic region.
Through the Baltic Patron Project, participants:

  • Share their personal stories to inspire and raise awareness
  • Promote and fundraise for a non-profit organisation of their choice
  • Take part in storytelling & leadership workshops
  • Receive guidance through our mentorship program
  • Contribute to awareness campaigns on social issues
  • Join a growing network of changemakers across the Baltics

One minute. One story. A lifetime of impact.

The Baltic Patron Project is the flagship initiative of Voice of Change MTÜ — a cross-Baltic video storytelling competition designed to empower women and girls while promoting charitable causes.

The Challenge:
Each participant creates a 1-minute video that tells her personal story and highlights a non-profit organisation she is passionate about. The aim is to inspire viewers, raise awareness, and generate real support for that cause.

The Double Charity Effect:

  1. Empowering the storyteller – Women find their voice, refine their message, and gain confidence by sharing their journey publicly.
  2. Supporting the cause – The video serves as a promotional tool for the chosen NGO, helping raise funds, awareness, and community support.

The Baltic Patron Project creates a double charity effect:

  1. Empowering women to find and share their voice
  2. Supporting multiple NGOs and causes through increased visibility and funding

Beyond the Competition:
The videos remain live online as long-term promotional content for the featured NGOs, ensuring ongoing awareness and fundraising potential. Many participants continue collaborating with their charities beyond the contest, creating lasting relationships and sustained impact.
