Support Game Devs of Color
Our mission is to amplify the creative power held by people of color in games.
Help us reach our goal
In 2026, your support helps power year-round programs, organizing revolutionary events, uniting our vibrant community, and building access to knowledge, funding, and opportunities. Game Devs of Color puts developers first:
- hosting GDoCExpo, the premier game industry conference centering POC speakers and exhibitors
- spotlighting creators by curating the GDoCExpo Direct showcase
- driving sales and wishlists for indies with a front-page Steam Sale, reaching hundreds of thousands players every year
- investing in the community with no-strings dev grants
- organizing scholarship programs for in-person opportunities
- raising hardship funds to help devs navigate layoffs and industry upheaval
We do this all without putting the cost on devs, including never charging dev submission or exhibition fees, always paying speakers, providing sliding scale and free tickets, online accessibility, captions, and free archives.
We're deeply committed to this work, can't do this without your support. If you're in a position to help, please donate directly to the organization.

- $15/month helps cover accessibility and platform costs across the year
- $25 could help provide a conference ticket for a low-income attendee
- $50 supports closed captions for 1 conference talk, ensuring accessibility for all
- $200 could help cover editing and production for 1 game to look its best in the GDoCExpo Direct
- $500 could help fund a speaker honorarium, including guidance for first-time speakers finding their voice
- $1000 helps accelerate multiple programs at once, including microgrants and scholarships for emerging creators
