Kickstarter, Creative Capital, and Skoll Foundation have partnered to launch a $500,000 Creative Capital x Skoll Foundation Fund that backs projects by Asian, Black, Indigenous, and Latinx creators on the crowdfunding platform. Effective immediately, funds will be awarded on an ongoing basis to creators with active projects across all of Kickstarter’s categories: Arts, Comics & Illustration, Design & Tech, Film, Food & Craft, Games, Music, and Publishing.
This fund seeks to apply funding at 5%-10% of the goal amount (with a cap of $10,000) at the beginning of a project’s funding period or at the end to help send it over the line. Additionally, funded creators will have access to Creative Capital’s vast educational resources and workshops at no-charge.
