Since 2009, hundreds of thousands of Zynga players have made charitable contributions through Zynga games to nonprofit organizations delivering measureable results for those in need around the world. Zynga players are passionate about play and helping others. They have helped build a school in Haiti, generated timely resources for humanitarian relief in the wake of natural disasters, and provided much needed funding for children in poverty. Share your story of giving through a Zynga game – and win a chance to see your name in lights in Times Square!
Right now, FarmVille players everywhere are giving “Gifts of Joy” in Winter Wonderland. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of limited edition virtual holiday items such as an Amethyst Tree, a Caroling Horse, and a Candy Cane crop will go to Save the Children’s US-based programs working to end the cycle of poverty for children. Contributions will go towards ensuring children have healthy snacks, libraries with books, and ending the cycle of poverty, in general. To check out these virtual items, please go to FarmVille
While honored and humbled, Zynga.org does not encourage unsolicited requests for partnership or funding.
