The Creativity Pioneers Fund invests in, connects, and supports cultural and creative organisations that advance bold, unconventional practices towards a more just, inclusive, and equitable world. By working closely with partners, donors, and other stakeholders across the creative ecosystem, the Fund aims to mobilise a collective effort to foster Creativity for Social Change.
This unearmarked micro-grant is a starting point for a broader, long-term collaboration. It opens access to additional financial resources, in-kind support, mentorship, learning opportunities, peer-to-peer exchange, as well as greater visibility and networking.
The open call is open to active, legally registered nonprofit organisations regardless of geographical location.
The programme is looking for organisations that:
- Place creativity at the core of their mission and programming, demonstrating its pivotal role in driving social transformation within their target communities;
- Prioritise disadvantaged and/or marginalised communities, primarily focusing on youth aged 16–27;
- Possess an organisational bank account in the organisation’s name.
The Creativity Pioneers Fund provides selected organisations with an unearmarked grant of 5,000 EUR. Eligible costs include travel and subsistence costs.
