WHO WE ARE

The Comics Advocacy Group is an organization dedicated to making careers in comics more accessible and sustainable. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we aim to address systemic barriers in the comics industry by providing access to educational resources, networking opportunities, and financial support, as well as advocating for fair wages and working practices.

Making comics accessible.

We were founded in 2022 by a group of comics professionals with a wide variety of industry and independent experience. We plan to use our collective knowledge to lay the groundwork for a long-term, sustained effort towards making comics careers viable for more creators.

Supporting Each Other

The Comics Advocacy Group is registered as a 501(c)3, so your donations are tax-deductible! Financial contributions like yours will allow us to:

  • Provide grants to comics creators and editors which will allow them to further their education, work on independent projects, travel to conventions, and more.
  • Produce a robust resource hub for the comics community featuring contributions from a wide array of professionals.
  • Establish a long term compensation survey for comics professionals which is inclusive of both the direct market and the book market.

Mini Grant Applications Are Under Review!

We are in the process of selecting awardees for the latest round of CAG Mini Grants from over one thousand applications!

The CAG Mini Grant provides small, unrestricted funding to comic creators. As the cost of food and rent are growing prohibitive, many creators find themselves taking on additional work with time they do not have in order to make ends meet. Our goal in offering this $500 mutual aid grant is to give cartoonists some time and space to work on the projects most important to them.

Selections will be made by 2/12. If you applied, please be sure to check your spam folder!

We're learning together.

Are you a comics professional with time or expertise to share? We’d love to hear from you!
