What is the CGA?
The Creators Guild of America is the official 501(c)(6) nonprofit built to protect and promote the interests of digital creators. The CGA exists to make sure this generation of entrepreneurs has the professional infrastructure, protections, and recognition they deserve. The CGA is led by a Board of Directors, Advisory Council, Chairs, and Leadership teams who bring together executives from Disney, Microsoft, AMD, Patreon, Whalar, and others to set the standard for how creators are recognized, protected, and represented across this rapidly evolving industry.

Why it matters?
Creativity is the future of work. As entertainment, technology, and AI converge, we are witnessing the greatest work shift in modern history, and creators are at the center of it. This generation of entrepreneurs is building businesses, shaping culture, and driving a trillion dollar economy. The CGA exists to make sure they have the professional infrastructure, protections, and recognition they deserve as that future unfolds.

Who is it for?
The CGA represents the full spectrum of creativity across three categories. Media: creators, influencers, gamers, podcasters, entertainers, and writers. Marketing: brand strategists, community builders, videographers, photographers, editors, and designers. Makers: founders, co founders, producers, developers, and vibe coders. From creators in front of the camera, to marketers behind it, and visionaries powering it, the CGA is your professional home.

Yes, you can join free.
Mosaic is the CGA's credits platform and the foundation of where your journey starts. When you sign up, you receive your Creator ID, a unique identifier that verifies you as an authentic human professional. From there, you can begin adding project credits, adding collaborators, and building a public record of your work. Think of it as your professional profile powered by the guild. The more credits you add, the more legitimate and discoverable you become. Mosaic is free and open to everyone because we believe every creator deserves a verified record of what they've built.
