Twitch Makes Streaming For A Good Cause Easier Built-In Fundraising Feature, 'Twitch Charity'

Source: Twitch

Twitch launched a new built-in fundraising feature called Twitch Charity that allows creators to set up and run a stream to support a charity. In beta, the feature helps creators track donations, convert subs and Bits into donations, and manage multiple programs and apps at the same time.

Twitch Charity can be accessed from a new Charity section within the Creator Dashboard. Donations from charity streams will be processed by PayPal Giving Fund, Twitch’s selected partner for the initiative, ensuring the accuracy of all donations and handling associated logistics.

Creators now have a more accessible and streamlined way to raise money for causes they care about most, while their fans get more transparency in where the money they donate is going.

Streaming for a good cause is a common practice on Twitch. However, creators always had to handle the logistics through third-party apps that make the process of raising money time-consuming. Now that a native tool exists, creators can launch charity streams in just a few clicks and focus on what they do best — connecting with their fans in-real time.
