Nexus Feature Spotlight: Charity Support

Half the fun of watching a live stream is the engagement–that instant gratification you get when your words in chat, points spent, or dollars donated have an immediate effect on what you’re watching. It’s for this reason that, in recent years, the charity livestream has proven itself as a tremendous force of good, helping fundraisers achieve donation goals never before thought possible. Events like Games Done Quick, GuardianCon, and Zeldathon have mobilized entire fandoms in the fight against cancer, animal cruelty, world hunger, and more.

At Nexus, we understand that charity fundraising is incredibly important to content creators–many of whom feel a responsibility to use their platform for good. This is why we’ve made it possible for creators to direct their earnings on Nexus to select charities available on Tiltify, the #1 charity fundraising platform.

Creators on Nexus are able to donate a portion of their earnings from each sale to charity–automatically–simply by selecting a percentage of their earnings in the creator dashboard. Creators will be able to choose from the following charitable organizations available via Tiltify.

• Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital
• Variety the children’s Charity
• Project Hope
• Best Friends Animal Society
• Direct Relief
• Stonewall Community Foundation
• New Story
• AbleGamers Charity
• Feeding America
• Red Nose Day
• American Red Cross
• Unicef USA

It is our hope that by partnering Nexus storefronts with the Tiltify fundraising platform, we can empower even more creators and communities to #DoGood. With that in mind, we hope that content creators consider the power of their voices online, and the potential service that their fandoms might offer.
