Creative Commons is investing up to $100,000 to empower individuals and communities deeply rooted in the principles of openness and sharing. With the Catalyst Grants program, Creative Commons will seed activities around the globe that support their mission. Their goal is to scale communities' efforts and support them in becoming self-sustainable. Through a rigorous public review and transparent evaluation process, the best proposals submitted by CC affiliates and the broader community, will be selected to receive $1,000–$10,000 to make their ideas a reality.
Applicants may seek funding for activities that positively impact Creative Commons' mission of fostering creativity - cultural, educational, scientific and other content - in the commons, to promote understanding and adoption of CC's tools, licenses and technologies, and to support the building and work of communities that use or benefit from CC licenses, tools, and technologies.
Some funding may be ear-marked to address particular issues, programs or activities, geographies or other specified objectives or criteria, as may be defined by Creative Commons.
The deadline for Catalyst Grants applications is 30 June.
