IT IS TIME!

Holiday Break is over and that means applications for the 2026 ADF GDC Scholarships are now open! Please share far and wide, and apply if you are eligible! forms.gle/xtG723fxenpv...

We are at $1500 now! We would really love to get to $10,000 before GDC this year. If you are US-based, you can write off the donation, we'll send you a letter and everything!

We are up to $1200! just over 10% to our goal of $10,000. Please donate, share, convince your company to sponsor us- anything helps!

We’ve all been busy so this post is late, but please donate if you can! We use the money to help our scholars make it through GDC week with as little financial distress as possible, as well as support them through our Mentor Program. Every little bit helps! #GivingTuesday

It's #GivingTuesday! This holiday season, please consider donating to the Animation Diversity Foundation to help us run our development programs, like our mentorship and GDC scholarships. Your donation will fuel our work and help the next generation of game animators to grow. animfund.org/donate/

The game industry is a bit of a mess right now and it’s hitting all of us, but when things get bad, they’re often toughest on marginalized folk. So. @aiviwave.com and I are launching the Rising Star Patronage Project to support game composers & make great music! www.gofundme.com/f/video-game...

Just over 24 hours left to apply!

Hey animators! We have a huge learning opportunity at the ADF with a stellar roster of mentors. APPLY, WE WANNA SEE YOU #animation #gamedev

It's that time of year! Our 2025 ADF Mentor Program applications are now open! If you are or know any students or early career animators from an under-represented group, please apply and share! If you would like to be a mentor, please let us know as well! forms.gle/e7rCp42iYHQq...

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike is coming back to GDC next week for its SIXTH year! Last year I wrote about the challenges of mass layoffs, online harassment, and lack of funding, and #WhatAGameDevLooksLike was a little beacon of joy and celebration of how brilliant, diverse, and kind our industry can be.

In case you’re attending #GDC2025 and do not know about this; if you’re ever feeling unsafe, need assistance, or see something troubling, you can call this 24 hour hotline. They will listen and assist however possible whether you’re at an official GDC event or simply in San Francisco for the event.

We could really use everyone’s help!

Just two weeks to GDC and we are still looking for donations or corporate sponsorship so we can give our scholarships more financial support. Please reach out if you are able to help, or share this donation link! #GDC #Scholars #DEI #animation animfund.org/donate/

Let’s gooooo

GDC changed up how they awarded scholarships this year, so our donation drive timing is different, but we ARE still sending scholars to GDC! #gameanimation #gamedev #animation

We could use more support for our scholars! This is an important time for diversity efforts. #animation #gameanimation #gamedev

For our first skeet or whatever, we'd really love to provide more financial support for our GDC scholar cohort this year- to kick it up a bit, the board will personally match up to $5000 in donations. Help us support the future of game dev animation- no donation is too small! animfund.org/donate/

Hey Y'all, we are now on BlueSky!

ANIMATION DIVERSITY FOUNDATION GDC SCHOLARSHIP UPDATE Hi all! Due to some unforeseen changes at GDC, it look longer than normal to verify that we would be able to offer our annual GDC Scholarship. The good news is, we can! animfund.org/programs/gdc...
