Add a "Charity" button to Twitch. Put an end to charity fraud. Charity streams and fundraisers in which viewers are induced to Subscribe to a channel, or send a lump-sum payment directly to a Broadcaster's PayPal, unnecessarily expose streamers to liability and viewers to fraud. This practice is for the most part largely unregulated on Twitch. If Twitch is not going to moderate this practice, then I implore them to create alternative, legitimate tools for Broadcasters who wish to raise money for charity.
My suggestion is to introduce a "Charity" button similar to the "Subscribe" button, with all money going directly to a designated registered charity. This could be a page hosted…

Channel Revenue direct to Charity Allow streamer the option to donate all channel revenue (subs, cheers, sales) directly to a charity. For maximum transparency the money could go from Twitch directly to the charity, and ideally maybe Twitch would consider taking a lesser percentage so that more of the money gets to the charity?

Shadow Cats In 1997 there were very few resources available for stray cats in the central Texas area and nationwide. Rampant breeding allowed cats to give birth to countless litters of kittens to continue the cycle of suffering. Doomed to an indifferent life on the streets, their lives were usually brief; or, if they ended up in shelters, they were usually euthanized soon after arrival.
Identifying a great need, Shadow Cats became a reality- a resource for cats in the shadows.
Through diligence, a small cadre of veterinarians and trappers began to work together to learn to humanely trap, sterilize, vaccinate…
