What’s new in 2025
In its fifth year, the Pinterest Inclusion Fund is continuing to expand its support of emerging content producers, building on four successful years of empowering multiple types of content suppliers on Pinterest. The programme will unlock educational resources, financial support and growth opportunities for small merchant businesses, and for the first time since 2023, new-to-Pinterest content creators.
The incubator programme is focused on connecting people on Pinterest to the inspirational ideas and products from emerging content producers across beauty, fashion and lifestyle verticals. Small merchant businesses and creators who sell products and/or produce content that fuels our inclusive product features like skin tone ranges, hair pattern search and body type ranges will be eligible to apply. People who used inclusive features on Pinterest saved 75% more Pins than those who did not, presenting a unique opportunity for participants to grow their organic content presence and get discovered by Pinterest users.¹
