Open Call: Creativity Pioneers Fund

The Creativity Pioneers Fund is accepting applications until 7 April, offering a micro-grant of 5,000 euros to selected organisations. The grant is unrestricted, allowing recipients to cover general operational expenses and other critical costs necessary for developing their activities.

Beyond financial support, the fund aims to establish a long-term collaboration model, providing grantees with access to additional funding opportunities, in-kind support, mentorship, learning resources, peer-to-peer exchanges, and networking.

Eligibility

Applications are open to legally registered, non-profit organisations operating actively, regardless of geographic location.

Selection Priorities

The fund seeks organisations that:

• Place creativity at the core of their mission and programming, using it as a driver for social transformation.

• Focus on disadvantaged and/or marginalised communities, particularly youth aged 16-27.

• Hold an organisational bank account, as funds cannot be transferred to individual accounts.

  
  

Priority will be given to organisations that:

• Address bold questions and tackle significant social and environmental challenges.

• Operate with a hybrid, intersectional approach, recognising the interconnection of social and environmental issues.

• Focus on systemic change rather than short-term outputs.

• Maintain a "glocal" perspective—deeply rooted in local contexts while staying globally relevant.

• Inspire and equip a new generation of creative thinkers with critical thinking skills, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a transformative mindset.
