Support Game Devs of Color

Our mission is to amplify the creative power held by people of color in games. We do this by organizing revolutionary events, uniting our vibrant community, and building access to knowledge, funding, and opportunities. Game Devs of Color is now in its 10th year of putting developers first: 

  • hosting GDoCExpo, the premier game industry conference centering POC speakers and exhibitors
  • spotlighting creators by curating the GDoCExpo Direct showcase
  • driving sales and wishlists for indies with a front-page Steam Sale reaching hundreds of thousands every year
  • organizing scholarship programs for in-person opportunities
  • investing in the community with no-strings dev grants
  • raising hardship funds to help devs navigate layoffs and industry upheaval

We do this all without putting the cost on devs, including never charging dev submission or exhibition fees, always paying speakers, providing sliding scale and free tickets, online accessibility, captions, and free archives. 

 

We're committed to the mission but we can't do this without your support. If you're in a position to help, please donate directly to the org. Monthly recurring helps us the most in being self-sustaining, but every bit helps. Your generosity supports: 

  • $25 could help provide a conference ticket for a low-income attendee
  • $50 supports closed captions for 1 conference talk, ensuring accessibility for all
  • $200 could help cover editing and production for 1 game to look its best in the GDoCExpo Direct
  • $500 could help fund a speaker honorarium, including guidance for first-time speakers finding their voice

Game Devs of Color is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and all donations are tax-deductible. Donations directly support programs, and GDoC has a Gold Transparency rating on Candid. 

Thanks for your consideration.
