“As gaming spreads to more people, so too do the benefits games provide,” says Jo Summers, executive producer, Global Game Jam. “One Gamer Fund offers near endless possibilities for helping with mental health, bringing marginalized communities together, and much more. Each of the organizations benefiting from One Gamer Fund are working to make the industry and the world better, and it’s the generosity of gamers everywhere that fuels the good work these charities can do.”
