Looking to set up and run your own tournament? Well, we’ve got you covered.
Through our partnership with Community Gaming, the Play2Learn Foundation (P2L) provides prize pool grants to grassroots tournament organizers. To date, we’ve donated over $250,000 in grants, and that’s just the beginning!
These grants are a key element of the P2L Foundation’s broader mission to promote financial inclusion and technological literacy among young entrepreneurs, giving them the education and resources necessary to navigate the emerging metaverse. By running esports and gaming tournaments, organizers can:
- Provide a versatile learning platform with the potential to improve academic performance
- Foster a healthy competitive mindset
- Engage other gamers by stimulating their passion for gaming while teaching life skills
- Act as role models in their communities
Below you are welcome to apply for participation in the Play2Learn Foundation Grant Program and host your next tournament with us at Community Gaming!
