The work you're creating has the power to shape culture. But at a time when independent creators are seeing less institutional support than ever, that work deserves more than encouragement; it deserves real backing.
That's why we're launching the Kickstarter Culture Fund, putting $1 million behind independent creators in Arts, Film, Fashion, and Music through direct contributions to their live Kickstarter campaigns. Selected recipients will also get promotional support for their campaign and recipients with particularly boundary-pushing work may qualify for additional campaign guidance and promotional support.
This is Kickstarter's biggest fund ever and we're financing it with our own capital.
But we're not doing it alone: we have funding partners—like Creative Scotland—already on deck, who will contribute additional funds to support more creative categories and more creators around the world.
There’s never been a better time to be a Kickstarter creator. We're doing more than ever to support the next generation of creators and the ideas that drive cultural innovation.
