Helping fund and facilitate tabletop games in education
MISSION
The purpose is to help facilitate and advance the use of tabletop games in education, by providing seed funding for projects and to help grass roots initiatives flourish. We want to help people who are passionate about using the power of games as a form of socialization and learning for young people.
What
By tabletop we mean games that are played face-to-face in person, not on your own on a screen (Actual table not required). These will be primarily physical non-digital games, but we anticipate that over time there will be increased merging of the digital and physical media.
Who for
The target beneficiaries are primarily grade school students in middle and high school anywhere in the in the world. But we will consider initiatives in third level education or community organizations with the same goals.
How
We will give out grants and provide non-financial assistance to initiatives that we like
We will consider any initiatives presented by a passionate advocate, including ideas and initiatives that are small and unproven. Grants will generally be below $10,000
Eventually we hope to provide non-financial help with introductions, resources, research and best practices to help initiatives succeed and leverage their projects
I am just starting out and don't really know how this is all going to pan out, so contacts, suggestions or anything would be wonderful to hear
