Culture Colab seeks grantees working at the intersection of pop culture and social change who identify culture change as a clear outcome of their work.
Submitted projects must demonstrate commitment to long-term narrative and culture change strategies in the arts, entertainment, digital, mass media, and/or social justice sectors.
Major Grants can support new and/or established initiatives, organizations, or companies that are working to advance long-term narrative change goals and/or to build the pop culture for social change field. Major Grants are approved twice a year, in the late Spring/Early Summer and in the late Fall.
Grants allocations are informed by the request of the potential grantees, but made with the final recommendations of Collaborative staff, ranging from:
$50,000 to $100,000 for one year
$100,000 to $200,000 over two years
Individuals/organizations with fiscal sponsorships as well as nonprofits and for-profits in the United States are eligible for Pop Culture Collaborative grants.
To be considered, proposals must engage, affect, center, and/or support at least one of our multi-community focus areas: people of color, immigrants, refugees, Indigenous peoples, and/or Muslims, particularly those who are women, queer, transgender, and/or disabled.
