These are unprecedented times. Now more than ever, we must come together to provide relief for those affected by COVID-19. We must come together to provide support for the healthcare workers on the frontline.

Streamlabs is teaming up with several charities to help assist in this mission. Live streamers that want to support us in this cause can visit our website to sign up and schedule a charity stream. A list of charities participating in COVID-19 relief is included below.

Streamlabs native charity fundraising platform is the easiest way to start raising money for charity. As a live streamer, your tip page will automatically redirect to the charities tip page when you go live. Every single donation goes straight to the charities PayPal with zero fees taken out from us.

Feeding America

Click here to donate or join the campaign. Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund has been established to help the Feeding America network of food banks as they support communities and families impacted by the pandemic. Your donation today will enable food banks to serve the most vulnerable members of the community and our neighbors in need, during this difficult time.

Save the Children

Click here to donate or join the campaign. Save the Children is a leading expert on emergencies of all types — especially health emergencies — and on how any emergency or disaster relief situation negatively impacts children. Save the Children started responding in China, Pakistan, and Hong Kong in early February, and are preparing to deploy our Emergency Health Unit as there are outbreaks in countries with very week health infrastructure. Many of our most affected member countries (Italy, South Korea) are already providing resources for parents and kids in their countries. In the U.S, we are working to make sure that children can continue to learn and receive meals — particularly in our rural program areas where lack of connectivity, safe childcare, and food insecurity are major issues. In many areas where we work up to 100% of the kids get free or reduced fee school breakfast and lunches.

Direct Relief

Click here to donate or join the campaign. Direct Relief’s efforts are focused on the personal protective equipment (masks, gowns, gloves, etc.) that are most needed across the world. In addition to providing PPE, Direct Relief is supporting U.S. community clinics and health centers with chronic disease medications to make sure that people living with these conditions do not go into acute crisis as a result of the surge of people needing medical care due to COVID-19. Direct Relief is ramping up efforts to provide the needed prescription medicines and medical resources needed for the most severe cases that require hospitalization and ICU care.
