BroadcastHER Grant winners include game developers, composers, and competitive gamers

Five months ago, the nonprofit 1,000 Dreams Fund set up its BroadcastHER Grant to provide financial aid for women who broadcast on the livestreaming platform Twitch. It received more than 600 applications, and it has selected 50 winners, each of whom will receive a grant of $500 to $2,000.

Some of the broadcasters have their eyes set on event like Blizzard’s fan convention BlizzCon, while others are competitive players who would like to attend Valve’s The International competition for the multiplayer online battle arena Dota 2. Others are using the funds for networking at Twitch’s annual event TwitchCon, which brings streamers together from all over the platform.
