Gamers Giving Inc. is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Denver, Colorado. We are a hobby gaming charity dedicated to supporting gamers and communities in Colorado and beyond. Our organization is built by gamers, for gamers; with a shared belief in the power of tabletop games, RPGs, and community engagement to uplift lives during challenging times.
We’re a group of passionate volunteers, organizers, and community members who understand that sometimes life throws unexpected, life-altering events our way. Through the shared joy of gaming, we aim to create moments of hope, relief, and connection for those facing difficult circumstances.
Gamers Giving was founded on the principle that gaming communities are uniquely positioned to care for their own. We recognized a need for support within our community; especially for people experiencing catastrophic events such as serious illness, loss of home, or major medical crises.
Too often, these challenges can make people feel isolated or unsupported. Our mission is to remind people that they are not alone — that the gaming community stands beside them. Whether through financial assistance, donated resources, or simple acts of kindness, we work to provide meaningful aid to those in need.
In addition to supporting individuals and families, we actively contribute to the broader community by donating games and supplies to schools, libraries, and community centers. We believe that everyone deserves access to the joy, creativity, and social connection that gaming can bring.
Gamers Giving Inc. exists to:
Support gamers and their families during catastrophic life events by offering fundraising assistance, donated resources, and community engagement.
Foster compassion and connection within the hobby gaming world by uniting people around a shared purpose.
Strengthen our local communities by donating board games, RPG materials, and other resources to public institutions like libraries, schools, and community centers.
Promote inclusive, accessible, and joyful gaming experiences for all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.
Whether you’re a lifelong gamer or someone who just discovered the hobby, Gamers Giving is here to ensure that the spirit of community and compassion remains at the heart of every roll of the dice and every turn of the card.
