2026 Animation Co-op Grant

The 2026 Animation Co-op Grant by BRIC Foundation and Legends Animated will provide $10,000 in funding to support the formation of an animation creator cooperative comprised of three or more individuals passionate about telling inclusive stories together.

As the industry continues to evolve, BRIC and Legends Animated believe in creators joining forces to build sustainable, equitable businesses centered on their values and vision. Following insightful conversations at the BRIC Summit about what it means to be a creator today, we’re supporting the growing worker cooperative movement to put creators first, foster collaboration, and inspire inclusive storytelling.

To learn more about worker cooperatives, including strategies indie creators can use to activate their communities and get started on forming their own worker co-ops, check out the resources below.
