The Creativity Fund
Our mission is to nurture the curiosity, imagination and originality of future leaders, turning the spark of creativity into a flame that benefits our communities.
The Creativity Fund is reimagining charitable giving by inverting traditional decision-making structures and making funding opportunities truly inclusive.
​
Many highly talented creative entrepreneurs who come from impoverished backgrounds are unable to realize their creative potential. They lack access to most sources of potential funding.
The Fund seeks to re-imagine charitable giving by providing grants and seed funding to promising ventures.​
​
We extend funding opportunities to creative entrepreneurs who would otherwise not be able to access funds and put local actors at center of decision making.
The Fund will source projects to address problems in communities with a great need for funding.
The applications will be accepted in a variety of accessible formats such as online Application, Paper, free phone calls.
​

We are always looking to increase our impact by raising money through philanthropy to re-grant through our democratic systems.
