The CCF call for proposals invites individuals, organizations, and institutions to submit their cultural and creative projects in April 2024. Selection will be based on respect for the values on the quality and feasibility of proposals, and on the proven abilities of project leaders.

- Interdisciplinary art forms (involving any of the above)
- Architecture and Design
The intended beneficiaries of the CCF are independent artists, other creative producers, and collectives from the Caribbean and, secondarily, its diaspora, as well as small and medium cultural associations and institutions.
