The Goal
To offer a minimum of four grants per year (per quarter, each magazine release) to help makers fund their next tool, materials, travel, photoshoot - anything that will move their craft business forward.
How It Works
11% of every magazine subscription goes straight into the grant fund. Not profits. Not after expenses. Right off the top.
Once we hit 2,500 subscribers, the quarterly grants become permanent.
Along the way, we’re releasing Milestone Mini-Grants:
500 subscribers - 1 grant (awarded)
1000 subscribers - 2 grants (submissions open, deadline 6 Dec 2025)
1500 subscribers - 3 grants
2000 subscribers - 4 grants
The current round (for the 1000-subscriber milestone) will be awarded in January 2026.
Who Can Apply?
Any maker, anywhere in the world. You don’t need to be a subscriber to submit.

FAQ's
Who Is eligible for the grant fund?
Makers from anywhere in the world - so long as they are practising their craft full time or aspiring to go full time.
How much will the grant fund be?
As the subscribers grow so does the grant fund. 11% of our initial goal of 2500 subscribers is just under £4000 GBP (A little over $5000, and almost a whopping $8000 AUD)
How will you choose?
Kate and I will go through every application in great detail narrowing them down to the applicant we think this grant could have the greatest effect on.
We will then bring in a small jury of other makers, craftspeople, and artists to go through the applications with us and decide on our winning recipients.
How many grants are you offering?
We are offering 10 mini grants on the way to our 2500 subscriber goal and then 1 large grant every quarter from our 2500 subscriber goal onward.
This larger grant will be awarded to one or a number of makers as the grant fund pot grows along with our subscribers.
How to I apply for the grant fund?
Applications will open as we meet each of our goals and will be announced on our instagram (@weare_makers) and through our newsletter so be sure to follow us on Instagram and Subscribe to our newsletter so you don't miss out.
