A CDB release shared that the initiative aims to support regional events and conferences that promote the development and competitiveness of the Caribbean\u2019s Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs). The deadline for applications is set for January 31, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>This call for proposals invites submissions for activities scheduled between March 1, 2026, and February 28, 2027, that align with key growth priorities for CCIs.<\/p>\n<p>The release specifies that eligible projects should focus on fostering policy discussions to create a more conducive environment for the sector, enhancing the capacity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to boost their competitiveness, improving sector data and market insights, promoting trade and marketplace activities, or safeguarding cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>In launching this funding round, Malene Joseph, Fund Coordinator, emphasized, \u201cCDB, through this grant call, aims to support home-grown activities that help unlock pathways for our creative Caribbean talent and businesses to become even more empowered. Beyond facilitating necessary policy dialogue and building data-driven insights CIIF is further enabling creative MSMEs by offering financial support to these targeted events.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A total of six grants will be awarded from the available USD 190,000, distributed across three different categories. Two grants of USD 25,000 each will focus on enhancing the enabling environment for cultural industries. Two additional grants of USD 20,000 will support initiatives centered on data intelligence and sector insights. The remaining two grants, totaling USD 50,000, will be allocated to activities that prepare MSMEs for market entry and facilitate market access.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants must be officially registered organizations, including Business Support Organizations (BSOs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), universities, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), or government agencies operating within the Creative Industries sector.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates should have a minimum of three years of experience in hosting industry-related events and must provide a co-financing contribution of at least 10% of the total project budget. Interested parties can submit their proposals through https:\/\/cdb.submittable.com\/submit.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, CIIF will organize a virtual consultation on January 14, 2026, to assist prospective applicants.<\/p>\n<p>CIIF, founded in 2017, assists the Caribbean\u2019s cultural and creative sectors to become more competitive on a global scale.
