Hi there!

The Global Game Jam® (GGJ®)  is the biggest collaboration of game makers in the world, with an expected 50,000 game developers coming together in physical locations around the world in over 100 countries, creating 10,000 games based on just 1 theme in just 48 hours! Our event running in January 2020 will be the 12th year of GGJ.

Why do we need help?

Running GGJ centrally costs around US$350K a year, including staff costs for our Executive Director, Executive Producer and Technology Manager, as well as web hosting, online tools, video production, GDC related costs and GGJ NEXT costs.

Traditionally this budget has been covered by our sponsors. This year we are really thankful to all of our sponsors, especially our headline sponsor (Thanks Microsoft!), but we still didn’t quite manage to hit our planned fundraising target.

As well as the expected costs, we have been trying hard to plan and save so that we can bring you a fantastic, fresh, new updated website. This means fundraising for this and next year for us is even more important.

What we want to achieve from doing this

Redeveloping the GGJ website is a massive goal, and it comes with a large price tag, so we are turning to our community to help us out with helping to get a little closer to our fundraising goal for 2020.

If every jammer donated just US$1, this would fill the spot of a whole headline sponsor, and it would give us a real boost to get the new web project underway.

Other Ways You Can Help
