The Caribbean Culture Fund (CCF) announces its third call for proposals. This call is divided into two themes and a third call for residencies and fellowships.

The CCF invites individuals, organizations, and institutions to submit their cultural and creative projects. Selection will be based on respect for the values and criteria defined below, the alignment with the requirements, the quality and feasibility of proposals, and on the proven abilities of project leaders. Applicants are invited to write their projects simply and clearly, paying particular attention to the relationship between objectives and budget, and to consider implementation constraints.

Call 3.1: Art for Change
- CCF will award ten grants of USD 10,000 for projects that demonstrate the use of arts and culture to catalyze change.

Call 3.2: Caribbean Collaboration
- CCF will award ten grants of USD 25,000 for projects that reflect or catalyze intra-regional cooperation and the promotion of arts across linguistic and geographic boundaries within the Caribbean and its Diasporas.

Call 3.3: Residencies and Fellowships
- CCF will award ten grants of USD 5,000 to support short-term, intra-Caribbean residencies and fellowships.

The CCF invites cultural institutions and organizations with residential capacity to submit proposals for artist residencies and fellowships. The CCF grant must cover all costs, including visa, travel, accommodation, meals, and interpretation for up to a maximum of two artists from any Caribbean country or territory other than the one of the applicant. The residencies should foster creative exchange, collaboration, and innovation across diverse artistic disciplines and cultural contexts.

Through this call, the CCF seeks to create meaningful opportunities for artistic growth, facilitate connections between artists, institutions, and communities, and strengthen the cultural and social ecosystem of the Caribbean region. Priority will be given to organizations that have hosted residencies in the past three years and that have preselected the artist(s) when applying.

The residencies and fellowships may be open to practitioners from any artistic discipline. Selected artists must be willing to participate in at least one public activity during the period and at least one virtual event to be hosted by the CCF.
