Epic Mega Grants: Insights and Best Practices for your Application
summary
Epic Mega Grants is a $100 million fund for games, enterprise, education, tools and open source with specific guidance: prioritize a tight 2–5 minute video over builds, request a justified amount (typical awards range $5k–$500k; Blender received $1.2M), and note that awards up to $25k no oversight are paid as a lump sum while larger grants use staged payments. Applications get triaged and reviewed within ~90 days, can be resubmitted or applied to in stages, and hardware offers (AMD Ryzen 3800 CPUs, Magically headsets) are sometimes available.
