We now have a Mastodon account! We'll be here on the bird app for as long as is feasible and possible, but wanted to make sure we set up somewhere else. We'll update as we set up on other sites as well. https://t.co/Rd3kQdLWnI

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

[Animation Diversity Foundation @AnimDiversity]

It's #GivingTuesday! This holiday season, please consider donating to the ADF 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.
