Baby Ghosts Studio Development Fund, est. 2023, is a registered Canadian charity working on cooperative and worker-centric labour models in games and media arts. We deliver low-barrier education, professional development and open resources to marginalized creators, and we advocate for a sector that supports cooperative and worker-centric studio models.

We are recruiting volunteer Directors ahead of the first election. Our members elect the board at our continued annual meeting on October 27, 2026, and every vacancy is filled by a vote of the members.

What Directors do:

- Set policy, direction and strategic priorities, and work through them with staff.
- Provide direction and oversight on the annual budget and grant applications.
