The I.M.I.Self Hope Initiative is our way of using our monetary gains and privilege to give back to those in greater need than us.
The initiative started on the 5th of January 2024, inspired by the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the need to do something with the power and privilege we yield.
Every quarter of the year, we plan to give back at least $10 + 20% of our net income to a charity of our choice.
We also run weeklong fundraisers where 100% of profits we get from, for example, game sales and Twitch income will go directly to charity.
The yearly schedule looks like this:
We will announce on our platforms whenever we make a donation, and we always publish a report of what charity we gave to, including the amount, proof of donation (if available), what the charity does, and our reasoning as to why we chose to give to that specific charity or cause.
Any changes to this initiative, such as donation percentage or schedule changes will be announced and made as transparently as possible. We will always commit to keeping that percentage to at least 10% for as long as we are running this initiative.
For the sake of transparency, I.M.I.Self is a sole proprietorship company. As such, all donations will be made by Victor Ahlin personally.
For this initiative, we intend to give our profits to charities and organizations that are doing work in areas where the situation is critical, such as in a natural disaster or war. Recent examples include the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Russo-Ukrainian War, the West Afghanistan Earthquake, and the Hawaii Wildfires.
We give where we believe it to be most critical at that moment. We prioritize supporting causes assisting during natural disasters and deadly conflicts, or charities involved in long-term solutions to global issues, though we are open to supporting other charities.
We use sources such as Charity Navigator, Guidestar, and CharityWatch to pick out our charities. We look into the charities we give to, and what other people and activists have to say about those charities. We only give to charities we feel confident can deliver on their promises and goals.
We don’t plan to use this initiative to give to non-humanitarian projects and foundations, such as the Godot Development Fund. Support for such projects is done separately from this initiative.
