Too often, charities try to "get into gaming" by hiring someone who plays video games or watches live streams, handing them a brief, and then hoping for magic. This rarely works.

Why?

Since launching LevelupJake, I noticed a common challenge amongst the charities I work with: You see the potential, but the gaming world and its unique ways of being are too alien in practice for immediate understanding and action. This barrier doesn't just affect the direct team...

As a charity, you would know that women donate more than men, and that donating digitally is the leading method for giving. However, what you might not know is that women also make up nearly half of the global gamer population and in some categories, actually out play men.

I owe my current career to #MonsterHunter. The game has always been a big part of my personal & professional life. Joining the team that brought MH to the truly global playerbase back in 2014 from their European HQ was the very first step of an amazing journey that led me to where I am today.

“Gamification” isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a strategy that taps into the natural motivators of gamers, making them feel more engaged and invested in your cause.

The most important thing charities can do to successfully fundraise through video games in 2025: Build & nurture a strong relationship with streamers/creators who resonate with your cause.

Turns out people who play video games spend even more time watching games related content! This fact might be a pleasant surprise for brands and organisations that are interested in the gamer audience, but certainly not new to most gamers 1/3

Hello 👋🏻

I'm Jake (LevelupJake). Ironic considering bluesky's butterfly icon but I'm just starting to socially emerge from early years parenthood.

I'm a consultant bridging the gap between charity fundraising & awareness, with the video games industry and all of its creative branches.

I wasn't sure what my first "tweet" should be but... After seeing everyone coming together on this new platform, forming really valuable and important "Starter Packs" helping us all to connect with the people we want to connect more easily has given me a much needed social boost and hope 💜 thank you
