Artists and musicians have always been the storytellers of every community but content creators, game makers, and influencers of all kinds, (especially Twitch streamers) are the next wave of community members who are helping to shape the culture for LGBTQIA+ lives.

As architects of community, whether we have an audience of 5 or 5,000,000 we do have influence through our social media and we believe in using that power wisely.

By creating anti-racist communities, free from bullying and bigotry, we are building safety across the digital universe, allowing our community not only to exist but to truly thrive regardless of who is in power. 

We the people, especially the creatives, are the very essence of our culture. What we build matters. Let’s continue to add the color, and the flair, to the world, in the many ways we do together and as a community.

From hosting fundraisers to support TEP’s programs and uplifting our work, to having the important conversations with their own audiences, we invite you to join our coalition of creators and use your own influence for good, with us!

It gives the audience a chance to rally around a common cause, fostering a sense of unity and participation, underscoring your stream to be a safe space where 2TIGE community members can truly thrive.

Positive Brand Association: By associating with charitable causes, like TEP, streamers can enhance their channel’s brand, emphasizing their commitment to social responsibility and inclusivity. This can attract viewers who value philanthropy and social justice, thus improve the streamer’s reputation.

Networking Opportunities: Collaborating with charities or other streamers for a fundraiser can open new collaborative opportunities in the future. Fundraising streams are a chance to connect with like-minded individuals or organizations, potentially leading to more collaborations in the future. As part of TEP’s network of streamers, we also hold streaming events and hold digital space to connect our community of streamers to one another.

Personal Fulfillment: There is a significant sense of personal fulfillment and satisfaction that comes from giving back to the community and supporting a cause you believe in. This can be a powerful motivator and enhance the overall streaming experience.

Diversification of Content: Planning and executing a fundraiser can add variety to your streaming content, offering something new and exciting for your audience. It breaks the routine and keeps your content fresh. 

Potential for Sponsorships: Corporations and brands often look to partner with streamers for charitable events as part of their corporate social responsibility initiatives. Holding fundraising streams can attract new sponsorships for your channel, providing financial or product support in the future.

Audience Growth: Fundraisers often attract a wider audience beyond a streamer’s regular viewer base. Participants interested in the cause might discover the stream and continue following even after the event.

Learning and Development: Organizing a fundraiser challenges a streamer to develop new skills, such as event planning, marketing, and coordination with charities. These skills can be beneficial both inside and outside the streaming world. We already have an entire toolkit to guide you through the entire process to ensure your event is a success!

Highlighting Causes: It’s an opportunity to shed light on causes that are personally meaningful or overlooked. You can educate your audience about important issues and potentially inspire action beyond the fundraiser.
