FAQ Section
-
We encourage developers to donate 20% of their revenue during the event period to maximize our collective impact. However, we understand that every studio's situation is unique. We suggest a minimum donation of 5%, but any contribution makes a difference in supporting our mission for a more inclusive games industry.
-
Any developer or publisher with a game on Steam that has either a purchase price or paid DLC is eligible to participate.
-
Participating games will be featured on a dedicated event page on Steam, with potential for front-page visibility. The IGDA Foundation will also promote the event and participating games through our social media channels and network.
-
Donations will be processed after the event concludes. We'll provide detailed instructions for submitting donations, including options for PayPal and wire transfers. All donations are considered charitable contributions, as the IGDA Foundation is a U.S-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This means your donation may be tax-deductible, depending on your local tax laws. We’ll provide receipts for all contributions to ensure proper documentation for tax purposes.
-
Yes, as long as your game will be available for purchase or have purchasable DLC during the event dates (May 25-30, 2025).
