A Community Impact Grant
Community or charity projects can be expensive. There may be supply costs, prize support, travel, the cost of other people's time, etc. Many of these are out-of-pocket and/or upfront costs. There's no shortage of great ideas out there, and we want to provide folks with the resources to make them a reality.
Why We Exist
Our goal is to fund projects that will make a positive impact on our communities through player engagement and/or charity. Maybe you'd like to run an event to teach new players Magic the Gathering, or run a charity stream. Perhaps you'd like to create a program that highlights the work of marginalized creators. If this sounds like you, we'd love for you to submit an application!
