The vast majority of our budget goes towards paying people to run programs (WordPlay, Game Curious, one-off events, etc). While no one is full time or salaried, coordinators are paid an hourly wage. We also think it’s important to be able to pay guest speakers, presenters, mentors and artists when they contribute to videogame culture, so the more money we have coming in, the more interesting and diverse content we’re able to put out. We have a long wish-list of initiatives we’d like to get off the ground, but the reality is that we sometimes have to wait for the right financial opportunities.
