Why choose Non Profit gaming

🎮 Why Nonprofit Gaming Matters

And Why Booking WSEGL Is So Much More Than Just Games.

💡 Why We Exist as a Nonprofit

WSEGL isn’t an arcade.
We’re not an entertainment company.
We’re not a for-profit mobile gaming trailer.

We are a federally registered nonprofit because the communities we serve — disabled youth, cancer survivors, neurodivergent families, and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals — have historically been excluded from safe, accessible gaming spaces.

We created WSEGL to make sure they’re not left behind.
Every event, every console, every controller — is about dignity, belonging, and access to joy.

📅 What Happens When You Book WSEGL for an Event?

You’re not just hiring a service.
You’re creating a fully adaptive, trauma-informed, inclusive experience that leaves a lasting legacy.

Every WSEGL event includes:

  • Fully customized gaming setups with adaptive controllers (Logitech, Microsoft, RJ Cooper)

  • Support staff trained in trauma-informed care, disability advocacy, and inclusive hosting

  • Curated game libraries that avoid violence and promote safe, joyful co-play

  • Emotional accessibility tools like sensory-friendly zones, quiet spaces, and legacy art kits

  • Digital storytelling tools (via SparkOS) to help guests capture and share their healing

  • Free take-home items for youth in need (care kits, affirming stickers, story cards)

Whether it’s Pride, a school open house, a health fair, a nonprofit conference, or a community BBQ — we bring healing through games, not just gameplay.

💰 What Does It Cost Us to Run an Event?

Every WSEGL event includes massive behind-the-scenes effort to ensure safety, accessibility, and meaning:

Expense Category Approximate Cost
Transportation + Fuel $75–$300 (depending on location)
Equipment Prep + Rigging $150–$400
Staff/Volunteer Time $0 paid (all volunteer), but 20–40 hours of prep and delivery
Insurance + Liability $100–$200 per large event
Care Kits + Merch Giveaways $5–$15 per guest
Licensing + Admin Costs $20–$50 per event

🎯 Total per event: $300–$800+ (which can explode to $4000 to travel to destinations like Vancouver, Los Angeles and beyond)
All raised through:

  • Private donors

  • Wishlist items

  • Community merch

  • In-kind partnerships

🤝 Why We Fundraise

We fundraise to ensure:

  • No child pays to play.

  • No cancer survivor is turned away.

  • No disabled gamer has to explain their needs twice.

  • No event space gets denied just because they can’t afford “entertainment rates.”

When you donate or sponsor WSEGL, you fund:

  • Consoles for Care

  • Accessible gaming chairs, rigs, and setups

  • Legacy storybooks and Sparkstream access for youth

  • Training sessions for schools, nonprofits, and caregivers

  • Public pop-ups in parks, farms, Indigenous communities, and underserved towns
