The Creativity Pioneers Fund catalyses transformational social change by investing in, connecting, and championing cultural and creative organisations that advance bold and unconventional practices for building a more just, inclusive, and equitable world. The programme supports non-profit organisations 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.
Who can apply?
- Non-profit organisations that are legally registered and operating in the countries in which they operate, with no limits on geographic origin.
- Organisations that demonstrate how they centre creativity in their mission and programmes.
- Priority is given to organisations that focus their work on disadvantaged and/or marginalised communities and that work primarily with youth (16–27-year-olds).
The Creativity Pioneers Fund provides unrestricted funding with a 5,000 EUR grant to organisations to help sustain their essential functions and programmes (including for cross-border travels).
