XTREAMsolutions is the result of a collaboration between two powerhouse firms – XTREAM Events and Solutions with Impact – both known for creating high-profile experiences that blend entertainment with global good. In 2024, they launched Thanks 4 Gaming, a first-of-its-kind movement uniting gamers, developers, publishers, and sponsors around charitable giving.
The event includes participation from global brands like Electronic Arts and raises funds for causes through gaming activations, livestreams, and digital campaigns, all supporting the Global Gift Foundation and Whale and Dolphin Conservation.
For XTREAMsolutions, Thanks 4 Gaming was more than a campaign; it was a new blueprint for how the gaming world could drive real change. But activating a multi-platform, multi-country fundraiser introduced a key challenge: staying compliant with U.S. laws governing charitable campaigns, including commercial co-venture (CCV) registration and donation processing.
To make the campaign seamless for participants and partners alike, XTREAMsolutions needed a platform that could handle both back-end compliance and front-end donation disbursement without slowing down launch timelines or burdening their team.
XTREAMsolutions partnered with Change to streamline every part of the charitable giving workflow. As a trusted leader in donation enablement, Change was referred by XTREAM’s legal counsel to manage the campaign’s compliance and act as the grantmaker.
Through Change’s turnkey platform, donations from the Thanks 4 Gaming campaign were collected and securely distributed to the Global Gift Foundation and Whale and Dolphin Conservation. The use of Change’s partner donor-advised fund simplified the entire process, helping XTREAMsolutions avoid the complexity of setting up their own nonprofit infrastructure or filing CCV paperwork across multiple states.
The result: a successful, compliant campaign that earned the trust of global partners like Electronic Arts and set the stage for Thanks 4 Gaming to scale in future years. With Change as a backend partner, XTREAMsolutions can now focus on what they do best: building high-impact campaigns that unite culture, entertainment, and purpose.
