Reminder: Donate to win swag in our annual Charity Drive sweepstakes

Briefing

In the first week of the Ars Technica Charity Drive, over 300 readers have already contributed nearly $18,000 to support the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play. This year's drive is still short of the record $58,000 raised in 2020, but there's ample time to make a difference before it concludes on January 2, 2026.

For developers, participating in this charity drive not only supports vital organizations but also fosters a sense of community engagement. Donating now ensures you have a chance to win some exciting swag while helping to promote causes that impact the gaming industry positively.

“Do yourself and the charities involved a favor and give now while you're thinking about it.”
