Hi @shop_thediagonalley!
The Creator Fund is a 5-week program focused on educating and teaching creators from underrepresented communities how to succeed on the platform. Participants receive $25,000 in the form of a cash grant, equipment and ad credits in addition to resources and hands-on learning sessions with industry leaders and experts. This program is not currently open, but they announce application periods here in the PBC for new cohorts a few times per year.
Creator Rewards is a program (in beta) for creators to earn money for creating original Idea Pins in response to monthly reward goals created by Pinterest. To learn more about Creator Rewards click here: https://help.pinterest.com/en/business/article/creator-rewards
Right now, Creator Rewards is only open to US-based Creators. That may change in the future, so stay posted. But for now, it's US-only.
You can read more about exactly how that is defined in the article linked above. Be sure to look at both the eligibility requirements and the bank account requirements.
I hope this gives you clarity!
