How to Enter

Bag of Giving isn’t just about playing games and watching people have fun – we want to give back, too.

Below is a list of specific charities we’ve decided to spotlight, in areas that are important to Brandon and Mike, as well as our players and GMs. Donating to one of them can win you prizes!

How do you enter? It’s pretty simple:

Donate to one of the charities below (links provided)
Take a screenshot of your proof of donation
Email it to contact@bagofgiving.com

For every $5 CAD* donated to one of our selected charities, you’ll get one (1) entry into our giveaways. Each month, one winner (or more!) gets to pick something from our prize wall, full of books, games, story critiques and more donated by our generous players and friends. Do a little good and you can win!

Monthly Spotlight: Plant Girl Game

Support an indie creator and get a chance to win more cool stuff! Dominique Dickey and Sly Robot Games have created a delightfully wacky and poignant TTRPG about plant family, community and protecting your home from environmental crisis – but in the most cosiest way possible. You can pre-order Plant Girl Game RIGHT NOW and send us proof of purchase to enter our giveaways. Don’t miss out!

Brandon doesn’t feel like doing math, so let’s say 5 entries minimum per pre-order (more if you get the add-ons!)
