Games for Good• Games for Good is a non-
profit charitable
organization which raises
funds and products from
within the entertainment
industry and donates them
to child-centric partners.
Games for Good
• Started in 1998 by a
group of volunteers,
GfG was led by
industry veteran
Lynne Killey.
Games for Good• It raises money and
requests that game
publishers donate video and
computer games to them for
re-distribution to children's
charities. It hosts dinners,
silent auctions and parties.
Games for Good• In just a few years, the
small undertaking had
grown too large for a
volunteer staff to handle
and the effort was left
dormant.
Games for Good• In the following years several
other game industry charities
took up the effort of supporting
individual children's charities in
meaningful and productive ways,
but none utilizing the repository
model of supporting other
charities.
Games for Good• The IEMA has been donating the
games to children's hospitals
and local area charities and
schools when long-time friends
Lynne Killey (the founder of GfG)
and Hal Halpin (the president of
the IEMA) decided to restart the
organizations.
Games for Good• Now re-launched, Games for Good is
being run by the IEMA's staff. In addition
to asking game publishers and
developers to provide the three finished
copies of each PC game they make, GfG
is also asking for them to commit to
providing three finished copies of all
games they create on all platforms AND
to help them with sponsorship funds.
