“Advancing social change through our shared passion for gaming.”
“To engage, cultivate, and support communities through charity streams, game nights and events.”
It all started with passion to give back. Gamers Who Give Foundation started when a couple of gamers decided they wanted to do more than just host charity stream events online. They knew they wanted to do more. For it to be bigger! After a long time of research and identifying the dream, Gamers Who Give Foundation was created and officially launched in 2023.
We wanted to be a hub where streamers could donate money that they raise. Especially donors who want to give back but don’t know where to donate to. We want to be the place that is dedicated to giving back to the bigger community and to different Nonprofit Organizations all through the U.S. We will do the research of the different organizations and the money raised each month will go to the Nonprofit of the Month.
