Giving away $100 to 11 struggling creatives
TLDR: You can apply to the fund over on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CG19jXJAV1f/
Like most creatives, I was badly affected by COVID. It hit me pretty badly but I still made enough just to get by.
A lot of creatives weren't so fortunate. I wanted to help. Originally I used my Instagram account @designershumor to help promote other creatives via story shoutouts but I felt I needed to do more. This is where the Creative Fund was born. The idea is this. I have multiple side projects that make me money (not a lot) but enough to pay the bills. At the end of every month, I will give 10% of my own sales from my side project which will go into the fund to help one or multiple creatives.
Side projects include:
Mugs For Creatives
Courses For Creatives
eBooks For Creatives
The money will be spent on helping creatives:
- Learn a new skill through courses, ebooks etc.
- Purchase design software or tools.
- Paying off a bill
This is fantastic David, and an great gesture to the community. Well done.
