Applicants may receive up to RM10,000 per project, split into a RM5,000 base creative grant and an additional RM5,000 bonus for projects that demonstrate clear social impact. The fund is divided into two application cycles, each with a RM50,000 pool. The first cycle runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026, followed by an interview period (1‑15 October 2026) and a project execution window that must conclude by 31 December 2026. Eligible disciplines include digital content & storytelling, music & sound, design & visual arts, performance & movement, and creative workshops. Applicants must be Malaysian citizens residing in Malaysia, provide samples of past work, and be at an early stage of their creative career; established professionals with major corporate sponsorships are ineligible. Submissions require a 2‑minute introduction video, a project proposal, and optionally a mentorship request. Successful applicants receive the grant, mentorship from Firdhaus, and the opportunity to make a socially impactful contribution.
