Charity

ATTENTION! Regarding charity requests...

The charity tool is now fully integrated with the PayPal Giving Fund, so if your charity is registered there, you should be able to find it to start a fundraising campaign. In the case you find your charity missing, please reach out to the organization regarding registering with the PayPal Giving Fund. You can learn more about how to sign up your charity here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/twitch-charity-charities. For more information on Twitch’s Charity Tool, please feel free to access our FAQ Help Article: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/twitch-charity-faqs.

How it works:
  • Choose a relevant category for your idea to check to see if any other users have already submitted this suggestion before creating your own
  • Upvoting existing ideas will increase the weight behind the idea, as opposed to multiple similar requests (we will combine these anyway)
  • Be sure to share your suggestion with others to gain more support!
  • Note: Suggestions are not guarantees that we will take action on an idea. We will try our best to communicate why an idea may not work, but may not always be able to share that information
If you need help:
This forum is for ideas only. If you need help, please check out our help portal for tons of articles that may answer your questions. If you still need help, you can reach out to our support team in the help portal as well!

Appeals or commentary on suspension decisions, support requests, suggestions disparaging others, and non-constructive feedback will be closed without comment.

  1. There are many charities and institutions that are enrolled on the Paypal Giving Fund and that don't show up as options to create a fundraiser in the Twitch Charity Board.
    There doesn't even seem to be an option to fundraise for any charities in Portugal...
    This should really get fixed asap, knowing that Christmas is around the corner and people will want to fundraise during the season.

    For example: Portuguese UNICEF https://www.paypal.com/PT/fundraiser/charity/3656552

    Or even the Red Cross: https://www.paypal.com/PT/fundraiser/charity/3656555

    and other associations https://www.paypal.com/PT/fundraiser/charity/4121444

  2. Twitch should allow an option for partnership or simple collaboration among organizations. As a representative for The McCandle Project, I have been struggling to reach out to Twitch with a very simple but positive idea. Our inquiry has been too get help from Twitch with a small campaign, but we have heard so little in return. Our proposition would hopefully allow communities to engage more with digital advocacy.

  5. Not exactly an "idea", but more of a "bug" or unintended behavior.

    I started doing charity streams to an institution from BRAZIL, where the currency is BRL, but all the donations and goals appear in EUROS.

    This is currently holding back some of the donations from Brazilian viewers. I tested with 10 different institutions and the currency is always in Euros.

    Please fix that, if possible. The current conversion from BRL to Euros is 1 to 5, and currency conversions might generate an obstacle to Brazilian donators.

  6. Make it so mobile users can see a donate button or provide us with a like to put in chat. The majority of my viewers are on mobile and can't see a donate button seems very lacking when using the Twitch charity feature.

  7. Charity Donation Trackers - x3 Ideas based off of existing functions.

    I'd love to be able to put the donation tracker on my 'Just Chatting' scene but; there is no Charity Donation Tracker available.

    1.
    A description of what the charity does.

    "This charity helps and supports sick children in need, from wheelchairs to paying hospital fees" etc. You get the idea.

    The Donation Goal Progress Bar [====== ]
    The Goal - $100 raised out of $500

    2.
    'Most recent Charity donors'
    User 1 - $10
    User 2 - $20
    User 3 - $90
    User 4 - $5

  8. For ease of use and sharing, it would be fantastic to have a "charity" page for streamers on their Twitch channels. Currently we have to direct people to click the Subscribe/Donate button and there is not a good way to send people directly to a page where they can donate without having to do that. This would be especially useful for promoting our fundraising efforts to people who are not necessarily familiar with Twitch but want to participate.

    Please add "charity" as a separate page for every twitch channel - alongside the current ones for Home, About, Schedule, and Videos.…

  9. Would be great to use an existing charity campaign we create on Streamlabs and link it to the Twitch Charity! I was disappointed to see this wasn't already implemented as I set up a charity on Streamlabs thinking this was already set up

  11. Surprised this wasn't already in the Uservoice given that discussions have definitely already happened around this, but it would be great if the Twitch Charity feature allowed us to set milestones toward our goal, and then stretch goals once that goal is surpassed. This is the major feature that other charity streaming platforms have that preventing us from switch over to Twitch, and it'd be great to keep it all in-platform.

  12. We would like to request MOBILE View for Charity Streams. Desktop only is a no no. Please make this change asap. It truly effects the outcome of the Charity Giving fund. Mobile users can not see when a streamer goes into Charity Mode only desktop users viewing the stream can see the charity button..
    Thank you,

  13. I have seen many automated replies about charities that have requested to be added with a comment of "At this time, the charity tool is fully integrated with the PayPal Giving Fund; so if your charity is registered there, you can already find it to start a fundraising campaign"

    However, many charities that are already in the PayPal Giving Fund do not appear in Twitch's charity list - a request I logged provided this as an example.

    Can someone from Twitch confirm that you have restricted this to ONLY charities based in the US? This question does not seem to…

    Thank you for letting us know. We definitely will look into this, as it should show on the charity tool in this case. I'll check back in with you as soon as we have an update. Thank you for your patience, and apologies for the inconvenience!

  15. Hello everyone, the organization 'Deutsche OI-Gesellschaft e.V.' in Germany is registered on PayPal Giving Fund, but is not yet listed on Twitch Charity. Therefore, I suggest adding the organization 'Deutsche OI-Gesellschaft e.V.' to the list.

  16. It would be really helpful for mods to be able to view the donation list with donor names and amounts during the charity stream because they are often the ones who help prioritize and deliver the rewards. I had a lot of trouble with this last night my first time doing a charity stream with Twitch’s tool - everything got very confusing for keeping the song requests going in order. (Music stream) thank you!

  17. I am looking at setting up a charity event on the 25th, I was looking at using the built in twitch feature for charities. However I noticed one issue where users can't enter in a custom message when donating.

    My idea for the charity was for every £1 that is donated, the user can enter in a message for "do 10 jump jacks, do 10 squats", etc but this does not seem to be a feature of twitch charity right now.

    It would be nice to see this.

  18. Assign a staff member to review the charities which are listed within the creator dashboard. While trying to do research into the charity i wanted to support, i realized many charities had dead URLs or Typos. We want to do good in our communities however it makes it a little difficult to trust the organizations listed when there are broken links and typos.

  19. Can we get New Zealand added as a place charities can be based? There are a lot of amazing NZ charities including Starship (which is already on the suggestion list), Cancer Society, Gumboot Day, etc that would be great to run fundraisers for.

  20. The website for the charity Coalition for Headache and Migraine Patients is wrong when you mouse over/click on the "Visit Website" link that takes you to the site for the charity.

    The link is going to headachemigrainege.org and it should be headachemigraine.org
