Grants for Nonprofits

Gamers Engaged is Playing it Forward

In 2024, with funds secured via The Gauntlet, we are thrilled to launch our new low-barrier grant program for nonprofits. Our grant program supports organizations that fall under the following Areas of Focus: Health/Mental Health and Basic Needs, Education, and Community/Neighborhood Development.  Our grants are awarded to programs that are located in our Pacific Northwest backyard, as well as across the United States.

Recipients of the 2024 Play it Forward grants will be awarded to current nonprofit partners.  There will be a formal program to apply for grants in 2025!
