The Moleskine Foundation has launched the Creativity Pioneers Fund (CPF) that 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.
Working with and alongside organizations, donors and other stakeholders across the creative ecosystem, the Creativity Pioneers Fund aims to mobilize a collective effort to advance Creativity for Social Change. The Fund is administered by the Moleskine Foundation, in partnership with a growing number of resource partners.
The Creativity Pioneers Fund was launched in 2021 by Moleskine Foundation to provide flexible funding, through a grant worth €5,000, to creative and cultural organizations, helping them sustain their core functions and programs and strengthen their ability to continue to serve their communities over the long term.
