The Gift from George (GFG) movement is focused on generating awareness of social issues and inspiring others to get involved with charitable causes. We aim to offer hope to the less fortunate through a welcoming and unified community that is rewarded for creating a lasting impact on the lives of others. With an emphasis on every act contributing to the greater good, GFG strives to make donating seamless, convenient, and exciting. Spearheading the movement to combine online gaming profits with staple donations, we seek to grow not only a charity’s capability through better access to monetary resources but also vastly increase their visibility to untapped markets available in the growing virtual landscape.
STEP 1: CREATE YOUR PROFILE PAGE Sign up to create your own GFG Profile. Think of your GFG Profile as your Charitable Personality -- the causes you support, the games you play, and your charitable history. View all of your active and completed games, track the total amount you've donated to your causes, and see all of the rewards you've earned for your efforts.
STEP 2: ELECT A CHARITY Explore our partner charities and elect your favorites to help them win more donations through one of our many games. You can create a user profile to track your donations, view your favorite causes, and make future donations quicker and easier than ever.
STEP 3: DONATE GFG DOLLARS Once you’ve found a cause that you want to support, go ahead and show it! You can buy GFG dollars for yourself or as a gift for a friend. You can donate as little or as much as you desire. Every George helps!
STEP 4: SELECT YOUR NUMBERS GFG wants to make sure we reward our generous givers. To do this, we have dedicated a portion of the game pot to our cherished donors. Once you vote for a charity in a game, you will select 5 numbers between 1 and 59 and one or more bonus numbers that will determine who wins! If you win, we make it easy for you to donate some of your winnings to charity as well. Donating with GFG is both exciting and rewarding!
It will be completely dependent on the number of players in the game. Please click here to see a breakdown of what the odds are in each game. One thing that should be made clear: Your chances of winning in a GFG game will always be greater than the Powerball Lottery. (SOMETHING ABOUT ALWAYS BETTER THAN LOTTERY OR NOT WISE TO COMPARE TO THEM?)
There is no limit to the number of maximum or minimum participants within a GFG game as long as the pot reaches its minimum threshold of money. Games will remain open until they reach that threshold and at least 7 days have passed. If the game reaches its threshold before 7 days have passed, the pot, and therefore winnings for the charity and players, will increase. Click here to see a detailed desription of the game rules.
Once you enter into a game, you will receive an email confirmation stating your name, number of entries, the game, the charity you voted for, and the numbers you chose, You can also find all of this information under “My games” in your profile page.
