Figuring out if you qualify for AMAKA Grants means understanding this isn't traditional funding. You need $1,000 quarterly revenue with three months of proof. But the real filter isn't just eligibility—it's whether mandatory platform usage serves your actual business needs. I've watched applicants waste hours only to discover the 14-day creator commissioning requirement doesn't align with their project timeline. Use the eligibility checker below to confirm your revenue floor first. Then honestly ask: will I genuinely hire creative talent within the next 30 days? If not, this grant adds zero value regardless of qualification.
Why revenue proof trips up qualified applicants
Many creative entrepreneurs hit the $1,000 quarterly minimum but get tripped up by documentation specifics. You need verifiable proof covering three full consecutive months—not just one strong month or projected income. Bank statements, accounting software exports, or payment processor reports work if they clearly show the timeframe. I recommend preparing these documents before even starting the Typeform application. If your documentation feels borderline, a free consultation with my grant experts can help format it correctly before submission. We catch disqualifying gaps early so you don't waste application effort.
