About Inspirasia Foundation

In Malta, the Foundation organises Changemakers and is an Associating Member of  Academy of Givers, which both support social initiatives in Malta.

Changemakers, founded by Inspirasia Foundation, aims to offer opportunities for social purpose organisations to receive financial and non-financial support to develop and materialise their initiative that will have a positive social impact on Malta. Since 2022 this was turned into a TV format running over 4 programmes on national TV.

Academy of Givers is a registered Voluntary Organisation (VO/1949), with the aim to create a community of givers.
