| | Donate once, support 7 game-related charities from now through September 24 We are proud to be a part of One Gamer Fund, an initiative to benefit seven game-related charities that support gamers or game developers: AbleGamers, Child's Play, Global Game Jam, the IGDA Foundation, Stack-Up, Take This, and Games for Change. Inspired by United Way, One Gamer Fund will raise funds and evenly distribute the proceeds amongst the supported charities, keeping less than half a percent of the money raised to cover its own operational costs. Here's how you can support One Gamer Fund this weekend before these opportunities end on September 24. | | Meet the One Gamer Fund charities | | AbleGamers works to improve accessibility in video games so that everyone can have a great gaming experience. | | | Child's Play improves the lives of children in hospitals and domestic violence shelters through the power of play. | | | Games for Change empowers game creators and social innovators to drive real-world change through games. | | | The Global Game Jam is a worldwide initiative, culminating in an event held every January, to introduce the joy of making games to individuals and communities around the world. | | | The IGDA Foundation works to support diversity and inclusivity in game development through its scholarships and other programs, increasing the funnel of diverse talent entering game development, helping companies create a more inclusive environment, and retaining diverse talent already in the industry. | | | Stack-Up supports military service members and veterans through their love of video games, bringing veterans to gaming events and providing video games to military servicemen around the world. | | | Take This works to educate, inform, and advocate for game developers and gamers about mental health issues. | | | | | | |
