If you're not aware of the Black Game Developer Fund (I wasn't!), hey, now you are. This is rad! https://blackgamedevfund.com/apply/

Yo #GameDev folks, maybe spread this one out a bit? I know very little about the fund itself / I can't vouch for it or anything, but more options to choose from is better than less when it comes to funding.

(it just popped up in Colin Macdonald's mailing list, not really sure why, since I think it's been around for quite a while- but hey! more visibility for it might help anyways)

and since you're here already and might be curious:

Another impact funder (which I can vouch for because I'm on the committee) is Wings Fund, which aims at funding women and diverse gendered folks: https://wingsfund.me/

@glassbottommeg Another route is to support and buy games made by minority developers. I will point to Protodroid Delta as an example. This was a game I bought during a kickstarter and the developer did a great job. I'm terrible at the game unfortunately. >shrug<
In conclusion, do one, the other, or as the meme goes, "Why not both?"
