Pinterest is funding creators for the sixth year in a row.
Pinterest Inclusion Fund
The Pinterest Inclusion Fund provides creators in beauty, fashion, and lifestyle with community, expert training, grants, and coaching to strengthen the content they publish, according to a company blog post.
The program is open to creators whose content powers the company’s inclusivity features, including skin tone ranges, hair pattern searches, and body type ranges. These inclusive features have been associated with higher user engagement, with users who interact with the feature pinning 75% more Pins than those who did not, according to the blog post.
Since the Pinterest Inclusion Fund’s inception in 2021, it has supported more than 500 creators, including Ashanti Powell, a fashion and beauty creator who was part of the 2025 cohort, notes the company blog post.
“The program gave me both the education and a stronger understanding of Pinterest as a creator. Before joining the Inclusion Fund, I wasn’t actively creating content for Pinterest, even though I wanted to. The program equipped me with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to get started, develop a strategy, and stay consistent on the platform in a way that felt achievable,” Powell said in the post.
The 2026 cohort will be able to join Pinterest’s Create Community for exclusive access to monthly trends, content challenges, and creator insights, the press release states
“Sessions cover topics like platform best practices to support growth and how to use Pinterest trends, insights, and analytics. Graduates of the program will join a vibrant community of content producers,” the blog post reads.
