About Fandom Charities Inc.

Fandom Charities Inc.® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007 with a mission to bring fans together in support of meaningful causes.

Through events, community experiences, educational activities, and fandom-driven fundraising efforts, we harness the power of shared passion to create positive real world impact.

From conventions and fan gatherings to charitable initiatives and community partnerships, our goal is simple:

Have fun. Do good. Build community.
