Things to know about the Community Fund.
You do not need to submit a project proposal with your application for the community fund.
If selected, you will receive US$10,000 from the Adobe Creative Residency Community Fund. While applicants can use the money granted to them by the Community Fund in their full and lawful discretion, the purpose of the award is to allow recipients impacted by the invasion of Ukraine to support themselves and their families during this time of conflict. Selection is determined based on your professional portfolio and whether you have been directly impacted by the attacks on Ukraine.

Why We Started the Community Fund
In times of uncertainty, people are turning to creative expression to learn, cope, and make an impact. That’s why Adobe is committed to leading the way and enabling ‘Creativity for All,’ empowering professional creators of all backgrounds to have access to the tools, skills, and inspiration they need to continue to create stories and share their diverse and unique perspectives. The Community Fund aims to respond to global events that directly impact the wellbeing of creators, focusing its support on an ongoing issue in order to drive positive impact over a period of time. The Fund may shift its focus to a new issue after this sustained period of support.
Since 2022, we have been witnessing the unprovoked, violent attacks on Ukraine and the tragic loss of innocent lives there As we see this tragedy unfold, we believe we have a responsibility to support creators during the growing humanitarian crisis and refugee situation in the region. We are currently focusing our Community Fund efforts on providing support to creators who have been directly impacted by the unjustified invasion of Ukraine.
