SCHOLARSHIPS and financial support

In cooperations with Double Exposure, the Indie Game Developer Network sponsors a scholarship to enable diverse game designers to attend Metatopia, the game design conference. In addition to our direct contribution, we crowdfund additional money to send a larger cohort to Metatopia. The scholarship covers travel, lodging, and a badge so that designers can show off their games and make connections with industry professionals.

We believe that innovation thrives when people with a variety of perspectives add their voices to the mix. With that in mind, we have created The New Voices Scholarship for tabletop game designers.

This program awards admission and travel stipends to designers who are bringing new vision and underrepresented perspective to the industry.

The Rose Gauntlet Foundation grants access to education, networking, and resources for individuals pursuing a career in the tabletop games industry. We are committed to promoting diversity and equity in the gaming community by supporting and amplifying the voices of underrepresented groups.

The Roleplaying Game Creators Relief Fund (RCRF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization founded to provide financial assistance to tabletop roleplaying game creators suffering hardship due to medical emergencies, natural disasters, and other catastrophic situations
