Players Voted and These Charities Won the Lion’s Share of $6M

When players raise money for charity by supporting the Star Guardians or purchasing VALORANT’s Give Back Bundle, that money goes directly into the Riot Games Social Impact Fund. We launched the fund in 2019 to make direct investments in organizations pushing for a better world. In December, we asked players to help determine how we allocate our grant funding to nonprofits around the world.

Players Voted and These Charities Won the Lion’s Share of $6M

Nov 17, 2023

In all, $6 million (or about 550,000 Star Guardian Taliyah skins in USD) was allocated to be donated to charities around the world for this year's charity voting campaign in partnership with GlobalGiving. Across 28 regions, three different nonprofits were available for voting in each region. These nonprofits all work on impactful causes spanning climate change, education, gender equality, and plenty more. While competition in our games is kinda our thing, all of these nonprofits are winners in our book so the nonprofit that receives the most votes will get 50% of that country’s pool and the other two organizations will each receive 25%. Every single organization on this list is guaranteed to receive at least $15,000. Once the voting concluded, we’d received about 775,000 votes from players all around the world. It was truly inspiring seeing all our players come together to champion the causes they care about most. Below you can see all the options with the organization in bold receiving the most votes from players.
