Africa Creatives Fund

A community-backed Creative Investment Fund by PortableVoices.

The Africa Creatives Fund is an ambitious creative arts investment initiative to build a future where African creatives thrive financially and artistically. 

About The Africa Creatives Fund​

The Africa Creativity Fund is a pioneering investment initiative dedicated to supporting and scaling exceptional talent and ventures across the creative arts sector. From film, music, and visual arts to fashion, publishing, and digital media, every year the fund will empower Africa’s storytellers and cultural innovators with the capital, mentorship, and networks they need to thrive. 

Why the Fund?

Africa is bursting with untapped creative potential—yet millions of talented artists, designers, storytellers, photographers, musicians, and digital creators lack access to the resources they need to thrive. Traditional investors often overlook the creative sector, seeing it as high-risk and low-return area of investment. By breaking down financial barriers and investing in the potential of Africa’s creative minds, the fund aims to turn creativity into a powerful engine for personal income, cultural expression, and economic growth.

Who is it for?

Africa Creatives Fund was established for creators at all stages of their journey—emerging, mid-career, or established—working in digital media, film, animation, podcasting, photography, content creation, and visual design. Whether you're a 22-year-old podcaster in Nairobi, a designer in Lagos, or a documentary filmmaker in Accra, this fund is designed to fuel your creative rise. It is also for institutions, governments, and corporate partners who are committed to strengthening Africa’s creative industries through shared investment and impact-driven collaboration.

Fund Objectives

The Africa Creatives Fund exists to power Africa’s creative economy by providing strategic investment and support to creatives. Our objectives are focused on unlocking opportunity, promoting sustainability, and building a thriving ecosystem where talent transforms into impact.

1. Empower Creative Talent

To discover, support, and fund Africa’s emerging and established creatives across disciplines—enabling them to produce high-quality, culturally relevant, and commercially viable content.

2. Bridge the Creative Funding Gap

To provide accessible, non-restrictive financial resources to creatives who are often excluded from traditional financing, helping them kickstart or scale their creative ventures.

3. Promote Sustainable Creative Careers

To build long-term income opportunities for creatives through monetization support, licensing, production partnerships, and ownership-based revenue models.

4. Strengthen Creative Infrastructure

To invest in shared creative spaces, digital platforms, equipment access, and training programs that enable creatives to produce professional-grade work.

5. Foster Creative Inclusion & Diversity

To ensure wide representation across gender, geography, and genres—prioritizing marginalized and underrepresented creatives from rural, peri-urban, and underserved communities.

6. Amplify African Voices Globally

To support the creation and international distribution of stories, designs, and digital content that reflect Africa’s diverse cultures, narratives, and creative excellence.
