The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI), a California-based nonprofit, promotes knowledge sharing, networking, and financial independence for individuals in the arts by providing business training, grants, and incubating innovative projects that create new program knowledge, tools, and practices for artists in the field, and conditions that allow such individuals to realize their financial self-determination. The investment is through CCI’s initiative, AmbitioUS, which invests in innovative and game-changing financial solutions to the longstanding challenges faced by artists, especially artists of color.

Angie Kim, CCI’s President and CEO, described the investment as being “to help improve the financial conditions of artists, so many of whom are freelance and independent workers, who need help with making sure that they are paid. MOXI’s ease of invoicing and automating of payments helps reduce the problem of independent workers’ wage theft.”

CCI’s $25,000 investment in MOXI’s Wefunder campaign brings us significantly closer to our fundraising goals and is the first step in a larger partnership between our two organizations. With our shared missions of improving the financial wellbeing of the creative community, we plan on working closely with artists within the CCI community as a way of expanding our user base and ensuring that our products continue to serve our core constituents.

Partnerships with organizations like CCI will allow MOXI to grow and improve. We’re so thankful for their support and are excited for the future!
