This is great, but is the charity real and the donation actually made? Lots of game industry related people “donating” to fake charities or not donating at all lately. Hopefully this one is real.
If memory serves, the charity hires GDQ for a flat fee. They’ve already been paid for the event and so donations that come in go straight to the charity. PCF for the winter event, MSF for the summer one.

The charity is real, and it took me about 2 minutes to search for their 22-23 audited financial records here https://preventcancer.org/about-us/financials/financial-statements-and-990-forms/
If you go to page 16 you can see the event notes for AGDQ for those two years.
I spent an additional couple of minutes using the propublica lookup. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/521429544
Thank you

Yes. GDQ has been running for 15 years now, it’s reputable.
Thank you
