The MØRNING People Fund
MØRNING is a creative strategy studio on a mission to make the world a bit less sh*t than it was yesterday.
The MØRNING People Fund is their quarterly grant for artists, creatives, dreamers and innovators, designed to fuel the boundary-pushing work that keeps culture alive.
Each successful applicant will receive the £4,000 grant along with a support package which offers x1 45 minute coaching session with a MØRNING team member. MØRNING do not help with production.
They want to help you get your dream project out there once you have made it. To kick start your PR, MØRNING will interview you about your practice and the work you made and co-post as a reel on social media. They will also feature you in their substack Burn After Reading and their social media channels getting your work in front of their global client base, including Nike, LV, Snapchat, etc.
For more information about the fund, you can read their Manifesto here.
WHO ARE MØRNING PEOPLE?
If you’re someone who believes that creativity is a powerful vehicle for good and you see the sunny side of the digital hellscape we all call home, then you too are a MØRNING person. MØRNING are pretty open to who can win the MPF: anyone who needs help bringing a brilliant creative idea to life.
The fund is here to enable you to make a meaningful project that helps push your career forward. If that’s community driven – exhibition, podcast, tech experiment, community meet up or a zine about your secret obsession – that’s cool too. You can be a Musician, Entrepreneur, Hacker, Student, Writer, Filmmaker, Illustrator, Developer, Photographer, Pensioner, Robot, Artist, or Designer.
