Fund the future of tabletop games
Every dollar you give creates space at the table for someone the industry has been overlooked — a designer, a publisher, a player, a kid who's never seen themselves in a game. The Rose Gauntlet Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit*. Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Why give now?
In 2023, our first year as a 501(c)(3), the Rose Gauntlet Foundation raised nearly $29,000. In 2024, we nearly tripled that — surpassing our $35,000 goal and being named a Gen Con Charity Partner. In 2025, tariffs hit our publisher partners hard and we faced our first downturn. We're still here, and we aren't going anywhere, but we need you with us.
