The Creator Inclusion Fund is back and we’re celebrating three years with more opportunities to help Creators and content producers from underrepresented communities grow, connect and succeed on Pinterest.Â
This year, we’re excited to continue the expansion of the program internationally with cycles slated for North America (U.S. and Canada) and select European countries.Â
As part of the program’s expansion we’re now welcoming Creators and various types of content producers (i.e. independent publishers, digital magazines and content collectives) committed to sharing content from and for audiences from historically underrepresented groups.
We’re also offering more ways for participants to learn and grow from Pinterest experts and fellow creatives by expanding the duration of each cycle from 5 to 6 weeks.
The 6-week incubator program will focus on best practices for creating Pins, tapping into trends like Pinterest Predicts, and how to gain value and make the most out of Pinterest’s tools. Â
Participants will also hear from a variety of Pinterest experts ranging from brand partnerships and monetization to live shopping and Pinterest TV, and have access to hands-on learning opportunities during weekly office hours and content workshops.
