Twitch creators have raised millions for charities through livestreams by combining the interactive nature of livestreaming with the support of their online communities.

Employee Giving
A great way to support our work is to talk to your employer to see if they operate a payroll, corporate, or employee giving program. This is where employees donate a small amount of their salary to Cybersmile each month. Sometimes, charities need to be added to the roster of beneficiaries, so it is worth suggesting Cybersmile be added to the list of charities for employees to choose from when deciding who they want to contribute to.
Donating Raised Funds
Once your fundraiser has finished, sometimes you will need to make a transfer or payment to Cybersmile in order for us to receive the money raised. The easiest way to do this is through our Donate page, but you can also contact us for bank details in order to transfer the money electronically.
