Here Comes the Fun Fund (Digital Wellbeing) through Young Futures

Is your organization creating opportunities for digital play, such as games, apps, and interactive platforms, through which students can connect, explore, and strengthen their wellbeing? Young Futures has launched the Here Comes The Fun funding challenge in partnership with the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, with support from Niantic. This challenge will uplift and scale solutions that design, build, and facilitate play that meets pre-teens and teens where they are to enhance wellbeing outcomes across digital experiences. The funding period will be October 2025 to September 2026, and grants will range in size from $25,000 to $100,000.
