Creativity Pioneers Fund

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

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.

Organizations that demonstrate how they center creativity in their mission and programs.

Priority is given to organizations focus their work on disadvantaged and/or marginalized communities and that work primarily with youth (16-27 y.o.).
