What is the Riot Games Social Impact Fund?
Since some of Riot’s earliest days, players have donated tens of millions of dollars to causes you care about through charity skins, unique minigames, and plenty more. In 2019, we created the Riot Games Social Impact Fund to make direct investments in organizations pushing for a better future everywhere in the world.
As we’ve changed from one game to many, the Social Impact Fund became a way to bring all of the money players donated to charity together in one place. It allows us to be more creative with the partners we work with, be more strategic with how we deploy funding, and scale up the impact we can have on causes that players care most about.
Since it was created, the Social Impact Fund has donated to more than 400 organizations across 25 countries/regions and distributed over $23M in grants. If you want to learn more about how the Social Impact Fund operates, the pillars we focus on investing in, and the wide range of charities it has supported, check out our 2021 Social Impact Report.
So far in 2022, the Social Impact Fund helped facilitate $5.4 million in humanitarian relief to the people of Ukraine and helped fund the creation of the SoLa Technology and Entrepreneurship Center which aims to empower the next generation of black and brown game developers, tech professionals, and esports players.
Ultimately, the money we donate to charities comes from you all, the people who play our games. So it’s important to us that you also have a say in where that money goes.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our charity events this year. We’re grateful to be a part of a community that speaks out about the causes they care about and pushes for the world to be a better place tomorrow than it is today.
