Donation to Senioren Computer Club Mitte e.V.
We are happy to enable digital participation for elderly people and increase their competencies and enthusiasm for technology. That’s why we repeatedly support the Senioren Computer Club Berlin (SCC Berlin Mitte) with our donation. Our proceeds help to fund new equipment for the club.
Donation to wirmachenwelle e.V.
We are happy that after 2019, we are able to once more support wirmachenwelle e.V. with a donation!
wirmachenwelle (“We make waves”) e.V. brings young people from Germany's cities onto the surfboard and into nature.
Donation to support Save the Children in aid of Ukraine
We have been deeply moved by the current events in Ukraine. Now, we want to do something in aid of peace and the people struggling during these difficult times. We see a great solidarity with people in Ukraine, who are suffering greatly, and with the people in Russia and Belarus who are courageously protesting against the war.
To help humanitarian workers working in Ukraine and the countries where refugees are fleeing, we have decided to immediately donate 10,000 EUR to the aid organization "Save the Children".
Looking back on our donations in 2021
We can all look back on an eventful and also challenging year. The Corona pandemic affected many areas of our lives and made daily life, social networks, and being recognized harder for many people, communities, and organizations. That’s why we had again been looking for fantastic charity organizations that we can support that year. Here are the ones that we donated to at the end of last year.
Check out our latest donation recipients!
This year, we donated again to various organizations and also received great feedback from recent years. Let's take a look at where new projects got started and what happened with our previous donations.
Playing for Tolerance
Games thrive on fair interaction in which everyone has an equal chance. Playing connects people and everyone at a game table is equal, no matter their age, gender, origin, or beliefs.
Everyone is entitled to have a good time.
This can also be applied to life away from the gaming tables. Everybody should be able to have a good time and feel valued.
That's why GameDuell supports the statement "Playing for Tolerance".
Christmas is the Time for Giving!
Here at GameDuell, we don’t just want to build a long-term successful and sustainable company, but also contribute to a better world for everyone. So many of our team members were in the giving mood this past holiday season and donated their annual Christmas present to a charity.
Supported Spielehaus e.V. and Jugendhaus Kiwi with Our Christmas Donations in 2019
Four months ago, it was time for our yearly Christmas donation.
We always try to find initiatives and organizations with a playful aspect in order to light up some people's lives. This time we decided to support two wonderful organizations… drum roll…
Jugendhaus Kiwi and Spielehaus e.V..
