The Roblox Community Fund (RCF) launched in November 2021 as an education-focused grant initiative (initially described as a $10M fund) to support organisations building curriculum-linked educational experiences on Roblox, alongside broader “impact initiatives” Roblox wants to accelerate - corp.roblox.com ![]()
Roblox’s education team described RCF as providing “investments, grants, and advances” to education partners developing curriculum and educational experiences, and they explicitly invited educational providers, developers, and educators to email proposals to their team at education@roblox.com - corp.roblox.com ![]()
# Is it still operating
In a CEO “Year in Review” letter published December 21, 2023, Roblox stated they took “big steps forward” with the Roblox Community Fund, including launching the program’s first set of educational experiences in 2023 (and naming Robot Champions as one of them) - corp.roblox.com ![]()
# What Roblox seems to fund
The original grantees announced in 2021 illustrate the pattern: an established education organisation paired with an experienced developer studio, producing a Roblox experience that is explicitly learning-focused and classroom-usable (often with supporting instructional materials) - corp.roblox.com ![]()
Roblox later highlighted the Museum of Science’s “Mission: Mars” as the first RCF recipient to launch an experience (December 2022), reinforcing that RCF-backed experiences are intended to be high-quality and aligned with learning standards and teacher use - corp.roblox.com ![]()
# How to enquire about applying
The clearest “application-like” route Roblox publishes is: email education@roblox.com with a proposal for building an educational experience on Roblox (or for teaching with Roblox Studio) - corp.roblox.com
A practical approach is to send a short first email that asks how RCF is currently structured (open call vs invitation / rolling review vs rounds), and include a one-page concept note so they can route you quickly.
# What to put in your first email - A 2–3 sentence pitch of the experience (what learners do, and what they learn). - Target learners (age/phase), and where it fits (classroom, club, museum programme, home learning). - Learning goals and how you will evidence them (lightweight Impact Evaluation plan). - Safety and civility plan (moderation approach, private-server or session control, reporting). - Accessibility and device assumptions (mobile vs desktop, low-spec considerations). - Your team: whether you are an education provider, a developer studio, or a partnership. - Rough budget range and timeline (milestones, prototype date, launch window, maintenance plan). - Links to prior work (Roblox experiences, curriculum products, pilots, research, etc.).
# If you don’t yet have a partner
RCF has repeatedly been described as supporting pairs of “developers and educational organizations”, so if you are only one side of that pair, you can pitch (a) your concept, and (b) the kind of partner you’re seeking (e.g., “needs a KS2 science curriculum partner”, or “needs an experienced Roblox studio”) - corp.roblox.com ![]()

# Community Fund Pilots The Roblox Community Fund RCF provides grants to organisations building curriculum and experiences on the platform.
Examples of RCF backed or RCF adjacent pilots: - Mission Mars from the Museum of Science Boston the first RCF recipient to launch a Roblox experience - Early grants to a small set of education partners to prototype what standards aligned Roblox learning might look like The fund is framed as a way to jumpstart a new chapter of education on Roblox rather than one off marketing activations
