The ESA Foundation is dedicated to supporting positive programs and opportunities that make a difference in the lives of America’s youth. The foundation seeks to harness the collective power of the interactive entertainment industry to create positive social impact in our communities.
Grant requests must provide programs and services that utilize technology and/or computer and video games to educate America’s youth and young adults. Organizations should seek funding for a specific project or program that is or will be implemented or available nationwide or at a minimum in two or more states in the United States. Programs must serve American youth between the ages of 7 and 18.
ESAF has one grant cycle per calendar year; applications are accepted year round and are reviewed annually in June/July. Applications must be received by May 15 for projects that will be implemented during the following calendar year.
