The Adobe Creative Residency Community Fund supports creators of visual digital work. Adobe offers grants of US$500-US$5,000 for Adobe project commissions. The program is ongoing, and they’re commissioning work each month.

Applications do not require project proposals. If you’re selected to work on commission, you’ll receive between US$500 and US$5000. The amount will be determined by the selection committee based on the length of the engagement and the scope of work. Commission opportunities vary depending on time of year and company focus. Selection is determined based on how well an applicant’s skills match the opportunities available.

Because Adobe wants to support as many people as possible, Fund recipients may only apply once.

The Creative Residency Community Fund is open to creators in most countries. To apply, you must be:
A creator of visual work
Proficient in English (except for Japanese candidates, who must be proficient in Japanese)
At least 18 years old (no advanced degree needed)
Owner of a PayPal account or bank account in your name

Adobe is especially interested in the following types of work, but always considers great projects of all types if they showcase Adobe Creative Cloud capabilities:
Video
Product / Interface design (UI/UX)
Photography
Illustration
Graphic Design
