It's the weekend! It's also the FINAL WEEKEND before IFComp 2025 wraps! Remember to get those final votes in. Also, if you are in a position to do so and have not yet contributed to this year's Colossal Fund, we're just a bit short of our stretch goal. Thank you! Have fun!

IFTF 2025 Microgrant Application

Thank you for applying for an IFTF microgrant! More details on the program can be found at https://iftechfoundation.org/committees/grants/grants-guidelines/ but to summarize: We want to support projects that benefit a community of interactive fiction makers, players, educators, etc., rather than a single person: we're thus unlikely to fund things like individual travel grants or specific games. We especially love open-source, education, and preservation, but are open to a wide variety of interpretations of "community." We are awarding a total of $3000 in microgrants this cycle, with a maximum award per project of $1000. Applications will be open from Oct 10, 2025 to Nov 15, 2025. We expect to announce grant recipients in early 2026.
