Prominent independent gaming showcase Day of the Devs announced it will officially be a non-profit venture, citing significant plans for 2024. This included launching a fundraiser initiative alongside this monumental announcement, which calls for support to continue giving a platform to their “supportive communities.”<\/p>\n
This fundraiser initiative was made possible thanks to a “fiscal sponsorship partnership” with Legacy Global, which allows Day of the Devs to continue operations as a non-profit venture, opening the doors to better fundraising opportunities that are “more transparent and public and helps our sponsors and audience understand how critical their support truly is,” according to an official press statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Day of the Devs event was founded by developer Double Fine Productions and iam8bit in 2012 to “celebrate the creativity, diversity, and magic of video games” while spotlighting developers and studios often overlooked and linking them with players through their games. This indie showcase has seen many virtual and in-person events and hundreds of games highlighted, achieved through sponsors from industry leaders, funding from gaming bundles, and “largely donated time from our organizers, our game curation committee, and our collaborators.”<\/p>\n
