Develop and enact a policy preventing harmful charities from accessing Twitch's charity tool
Twitch's current community guidelines focuses behaviors that happen on site but many nonprofits do not stream or engage on Twitch. And becoming a nonprofit within the United States is relatively easy and affordable. FB, Google, and YouTube have stances against nonprofits that are discriminatory in nature or provide access only if the recipient of the program converts to their religion. Allowing nearly any nonprofit to be fundraised for through Twitch's charity product opens a new vector for abuse one that has serious real world implications given that money is involved.

Do Not Run Advertisements on Charity Streams
Twitch has stated time and time again that they do not make money from charity streams. While this is technically true insofar as donations using the tool are concerned, from my reading of the FAQ, they still make money from their cut of subscription fees, bit sales, and advertisements run during charity streams.
While bit sale profits are hard to manage because of its nature as a currency that can be bought at any time from any or no channel, and subscriptions may be hard from a logistics standpoint to funnel Twitch's take to the charity, there is an easy…

Include some non-US based charities
All of the charities available are US-based. It might be worth branching out since Twitch is used worldwide.
We'll be fundraising for the NSPCC but can't use the Twitch functions for it as it's a UK based charity.

Remove Women's Liberation Front
Women's Liberation Front promotes hatred for trans people.
They have an entire statement condemning trans people: https://womensliberationfront.org/child-medicalization
By allowing them as a charity, you are directly funding transphobia and neglection of trans children.
Please remove them.

Access to ALL creators
Allow ALL creators--not just Affiliates and Partners--access to Charity. I've been notified of charity in my dashboard, but it's not available nor accessible via the link.
Regardless of contracts, supporting a charity should be available to all that wish to.

Add a report button to the charities
We shouldn't have to create a UserVoice for every hate group "charity" that we find in the charity search.
Since Twitch isn't going to vet all the organizations it adds to the charity search, please add a report button to each charity description so that we can notify you of them and not have to go through UserVoice again and again.

Remove Hate Groups
Alright Twitch, let's go on this ride again. There is a multitude of hate groups in your charity tool and it is simply unacceptable.
You claim you can do "thorough research" to determine if a group is acceptable to be on your platform or not, so I'll focus on listing some of them and you can do your job :)
- Alliance Defending Freedom
- Chalcedon Foundation
- The Salvation Army of Greater Charlotte
- The Salvation Army (There's 5 of them)
- Salvation Army National Corporation
- The Salvation Army, Miami Adult Rehabilitation Center
- The Salvation Army a Georgia Corporation
- The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation…

Allow Streamers to put a "Why am I doing this" text field in
Allow streamers to include text with their goal so they they could explain why they are doing the charity goal or why they chose this charity/etc.
This could replace the [Every dollar counts!] text in the popup at the top of chat?

Twitch Charity Beta: Integrate Bits as a Donation Method
As a creator who sees a lot of potential with the new built-in Twitch Charity fundraising feature, I think it would be worthwhile to consider additional donation methods. Many Twitch users already utilize Bits to support their favorite creators, and while Twitch takes a cut when purchasing Bits, 100% of Bits cheered in a creator's chat goes straight to the creator themselves.
What if there was a way for creators to route all revenue from Bits to support a specific charity during a built-in fundraiser? There's evidence of Bits serving as a fantastic resource for charities in the past on…

The Charity Button Shouldn't Replace The Subscription Button.
I am not in the closed beta of the new charity feature so I am going by what I have seen in Twitter posts and streams so far.
From what I gathered when a charity stream is active, the subscription button is replaced by a donate type button for the charity. I do not mind this at all BUT I would love to see the donate button AND subscription button be both present on a channel.
I asked this because some people doing charities use subs as a goal for different gimmicks for the stream as well as donation goals…

Content creators DEFINITELY need to have some kind of alert when people donate through Twitch.
This is a huge part for fundraising.
Knowing when a donation comes in, showing it on screen and bringing the hype!
Calling out the donators and thanking them.Right now, as a content creator, you don't see it unless you have the chat popped out and even then, it's easy to miss.

I would like to see a few UK/Global charities added to the feature such as ones for Autism and music

The thing I have a problem is as I'm based in the UK and you don't support UK charities yet as far as I can see when I looked yesterday
It would be nice to have some UK based charities and smaller charities like preschools I have one based in my village which is charity based called foulsham and bintree playgroup it would be nice to be able to support them when I streamed on Facebook they used to have a section where you could type the charity name in and it would find it because they are charity registered that was about the only good thing about streaming on Facebook

Charity Specific Accounts & Charity Tools
Give charities the ability to launch a Twitch Channel with a badge (e.g. :bleedpurple:) and instead of a subscribe button offer a SUPPORT button that shows the option to make a donation or start a fundraising campaign.
Allow charities to create events that are visible in the creator dashboard -- this would be useful right now (September 19th) as creators are looking for ways to support PR and if they fundraise on Twitch instead of Tiltify or StreamLabs the funds are not earmarked specifically for PR.

Give creators the ability to directly donate Subs/Bits with Twitch Charity (or to disable both during Charity streams)
Twitch's official Twitch Charity integration currently creates a Donate button that replaces the Subscribe button; however, viewers can still choose to Subscribe during these charity streams, and there's no mechanism for Bits to be used to donate.
Twitch Charity is explicitly marketed as a way to avoid having to count Subs/Bits as part of the donation process, and yet Twitch Charity does not change this issue whatsoever. Streamers would still have to manually calculate their income from a charity stream and donate that amount (potentially having to wait for their next payout to be able to do so, in some…

Please remove Pet-A-Bulls Rescue and other charities related to "bully" type dogs.
Before all you "bully fans" go after me, I'm from a country where these dogs are banned for a good reason. Pits, bullys or whatever they're rebranded as this week are fighting dogs (not nanny dogs as some folks claim) they're bred to be violent. Just as retrievers will retrieve, pits will fight and attack. It's a proven fact. There are countless examples of them attacking other dogs, cats and children unprovoked, causing catastrophic harm.
Any charity advocating for them should not be supported by Twitch's charity platform.

You’ve Made Your Bed.
You don’t listen. You never listen. It doesn’t matter what we say. Do you read any of the resources people provide for you? Do you even read what people say at all, or stab in the dark based on what’s useful/lucrative for you?
This charity feature has proven more harmful than helpful and I wish you’d let the community choose what charities make it on your list and vote on it rather than choosing the so-called charities yourself.
I’m moving to YouTube, and I’m not the only one, seeya. Hope you change, doubt you will.

Develop a Twitch Charity Extension to Showcase Funds Raised
The creation of a Twitch Charity extension would enable streamers to add a panel to their "About Me" area which automatically displays the names of all the charities they have raised money for, the total amount raised for each one, and perhaps the date the fundraiser ended. This would be a wonderfully helpful feature!

Allow campaigns spanning multiple channels
The new fundraiser feature looks great, but it's missing a crucial feature for many events: the ability for multiple people to stream for the same campaign. Adding the ability to let other people (either by invite, members of your stream team, or open to anyone) stream for your campaign would make this feature a lot more useful for larger charity events on Twitch.
