Frequently Asked Questions
How does Gift of Gaming work?
Gift of Gaming connects hospitals who need video games with donors who want to give. Hospitals can provide their wishlist to Gift of Gaming, and we will publish it on our website so donors know what you want. Donors can give to Gift of Gaming toward the wish lists for specific hospitals, or make a general donation to be administered by Gift of Gaming. Celebrities, YouTube personalities and Streamers can also partner with Gift of Gaming to lead fundraising efforts.
Is Gift of Gaming a 501C Non-Profit?
Gift of Gaming is a Washington state nonprofit corporation, UBI 605 472 299, but we’re not a 501c3 yet. We have applied to be a 501c3 and are awaiting a response from the IRS.
Is my gift tax deductible?
No, at this time Gift of Gaming and Giving with Avori are not designated as 501c3 charities by the IRS, but we’re working on it! If you’d like, we can help you coordinate with the hospital that receives your donation and they may be willing to issue a donation receipt for you under their 501c3.
What happens when all the funds are raised?
When all the funds are raised for a hospital’s goal, the funds are transferred from the hospital’s pot to Fully Loaded Electronics. The requested gaming systems are loaded with the latest games, and the bundle is shipped to the hospital.
What if I make a CONTRIBUTION to Gift of Gaming and do not specify a recipient hospital?
If you do not specify a recipient hospital, your help will become part of annual grants that Gift of Gaming will allocate to participating hospitals based on need, how long we have been trying to get the project funded, and how close they are to completing the fundraising goal.
Some direct funding to Gift of Gaming will be used for overhead including.
- Celebrity research, networking, and proposals.
- Advertising fundraising campaigns on behalf of hospitals.
- Operational costs including outreach to hospitals to utilize this service to reach their gaming goals.
Can I GIVE used or new gaming systems and accessories for hospitals to use?
Yes! Please mail your new or gently used gaming items to:
Gift of Gaming ℅ FLE,
2710 Colby Ave, Everett, WA 98201.
If you would like to receive an acknowledgement from the hospital foundation 501c3 for tax purposes, please include a note saying so and include your name, phone number, email address and mailing address.
What happens to my GIFTED video game consoles, games and accessories?
When your items arrive at Gift of Gaming we will search the hospital wish lists and place the gifts with hospitals seeking those items. If no hospitals are currently seeking those items, we will hold on to them for 3-6 months and continue to try to place them with a recipient hospital. If there are no takers after 3-6 months, gifted items will be liquidated and the funds from the liquidation will be used to support annual hospital gaming grants.
