Canva - Creator Sponsorship

Canva runs the Empower Canvassador Program, a community initiative designed to support independent creators who consistently produce engaging tutorials and social content around Canva’s products and features. Unlike standard affiliate programs, Canva does not publicly disclose commission rates or direct sales payouts. Instead, the program emphasizes collaboration, visibility, and access to resources that help creators grow their audiences while promoting Canva’s mission of empowering creativity through design.

Program Model

The program is structured as a community ambassador model. Selected Canvassadors create and share at least one Canva‑related tutorial or feature each month on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. Members gain access to Canva resources, branding guidelines, and support to enhance their content creation efforts. Participation requires adherence to Canva’s Trademark Policy and NDA guidelines. The focus is on education and advocacy rather than commission‑based sales.

What Canvassadors Can Expect

    • Access to Canva resources and support for content creation
    • Collaboration opportunities with Canva’s community team
    • Visibility through Canva’s official channels and community programs
    • Guidance on branding and compliance standards

What Canva Expects From You

    • Consistency: Share at least one Canva tutorial or feature monthly on a supported platform.
    • Authenticity: Be an independent creator (not a brand or agency) with an active, engaged audience.
    • Compliance: Follow Canva’s NDA, branding, and trademark policies.

Ideal Canvassador Profile

The program is suited for content creators, educators, and influencers who excel at simplifying complex design tasks and inspiring audiences.
