Else FAQs
What if I just need funding?
We’re happy to contribute to financially, but at this stage we can’t fund an entire project. We always consider projects on a case-by-case basis though, so its still worth getting in touch.
What happens if i’m not successful, can I re-apply or re-submit a project?
Of course. We’re always open to re-submissions, or new ones, from creators who’ve been in touch with us before (as long as it meets our selection criteria).
How often are submissions reviewed?
We review monthly, and you should hear from us around 2 weeks after submitting (but do bear with us if not!)
Can you help project manage my project?
Potentially, but it depends on the type of support you need. A little project management is fine, but we wouldn’t want to take control of the whole thing.
Does supporting my project mean you have control/ownership over the output?
No way. It’s your project, not ours.
What if i'm not from the UK? Or my project is based outside of the UK?
All good with us. We’re more than happy to take submissions no matter where you are.
What if I’ve already received funding from elsewhere?
No problem. Just make sure to include who within the ‘additional partners or contributors’ section of your submission.
How is my project promoted through Pioneers?
We love to tell stories of the projects we've supported, so might ask if we can take some BTS content or use some of your work in social channels. Entirely up to you though.
What do you get out of supporting projects through Pioneers?
In short? It’s our investment in creative culture. We want to foster long-lasting relationships with creators from around the world, creating opportunities & future projects with brands & creators alike.
