At AMAKA, we understand the challenges that creative entrepreneurs face in turning their vision into reality. From finding the right tools to sourcing top-tier creative talent, the journey can be daunting, especially for SMEs, creators, and freelancers who are just starting out. That's why we're thrilled to introduce AMAKA Grants—an initiative designed to support and empower the creative community.
What is AMAKA Grants?
AMAKA Grants is our latest program aimed at giving back to the creative community. Each month, we will award $500 subscriptions and Creator credits to two deserving businesses. This grant can be used towards a software subscription of their choice—whether it’s a tool like Canva to elevate your design work, HubSpot to streamline your marketing efforts, or any other software that supports your business needs.
But that’s not all. We understand that having the right tools is just the beginning. To truly succeed, you need the knowledge and guidance to make the most of those tools. That’s why recipients of AMAKA Grants will also receive complimentary consultations from our experienced team. During these sessions, we’ll provide tailored advice on how to find and commission creative talent that aligns with your business goals, ensuring that you get the most out of your software and your team.
