# The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, in partnership with Business and Arts South Africa, has launched the fourth iteration of the Debut Fund Programme to support emerging creative entrepreneurs. The programme will support 50 emerging creative entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35 from rural and peri-urban communities, taking ideas from concept through to market readiness over an eleven-month journey. The department says that across successive cohorts, the programme has demonstrated consistent growth in both reach and impact. Applications close on the 17th of this month.
