Supporting culture where it takes shape
Tzkrti Impact Fund, second cycle 2026, will award two grants worth USD 3,000 each to independent cultural projects connected to the Arab region or its diaspora. Morocco-based artists and organisers are eligible. Launched by cultural ticketing platform Tzkrti, the fund aims to support ideas that build connections, audiences and long-term cultural infrastructure, rather than only reward established names. Applications opened on 1 October 2026.Eligible creators and activities
The opportunity welcomes independent artists, cultural organisers, festivals, grassroots collectives, creative spaces and community initiatives. Applicants must be 18 or older; projects should be independent or grassroots, meaningfully connected to Arab cultural life and feasible within a USD 3,000 grant. Music, live performance, events, cultural spaces, interdisciplinary practices and community cultural work are expressly mentioned.
Selection, funding and visibility
There are two funded places, each offering a USD 3,000 project grant, not a guaranteed award to all applicants. Proposals are reviewed for originality, cultural and community impact, contribution to local ecosystems and practical feasibility. Selected projects are also promoted through Tzkrti's website, mailing list and social channels. Recipients are scheduled to be announced on 1 December 2026.

- A one-sentence project description (maximum 30 words) and 100–150-word outline.
