Call for Applications: Creativity Pioneers Fund 2024

The 2024  Creativity Pioneers Fund catalyzes transformational social change by investing in, connecting, and championing cultural and creative organizations that advance bold and unconventional practices for building a more just, inclusive, and equitable world. The program supports non-profit organizations that reinforce the critical role of creativity in driving social impact and are actively involved in creative skills development.

The micro-grant represents only a starting point for a more extensive and long-term collaboration system towards a platform model that provides the Creativity Pioneers with access to more financial opportunities, in-kind and know-how support, mentoring and learning opportunities, peer-to-peer exchange and networking.

Funding

• The Creativity Pioneers Fund provides unrestricted funding with a 5,000 euro grant to organizations to help sustain their essential functions and programs.
