The Gayme Night program provides board games for LGBTQ+ Community Centers across the nation. We work with these centers to create a recurring event for their patrons. We also connect the centers with local “Gayme Masters” who can teach the games and coordinate the events. The goal is to give their patrons the opportunity to learn and experience these games, socialize, network, and make new friends in a healthy environment.

How You Can Help

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and rely on the generosity of private donors and corporate partners.

Make a Financial Contribution

The board games we are focused on are quality products and such quality comes at a price. Each Gayme Night Kit requires around $250 in donations. This includes the cost of the games, packaging, shipping, promotion, and event materials. The more funds that we raise, the more centers and their patrons we reach. Become a sustaining donor or make a one-time donation today.

Become a Corporate Partner

If you are a publisher, retailer, or other corporation, we’d like to partner with you. In return for your financial or in-kind donation, we will help promote your games and your company by sharing these games with new players. Each game will include a permanent label indicating the company who provided the game and the Tabletop Gaymers web address. This websites include a list of our partners, your corporate logo, and a link to your website. See our Corporate Partners page for more information and to make a corporate pledge.

Get Involved with Gayme Night

Besides the obvious financial challenges, we can use your help in other ways too.

Become a Gayme Master

We connect with volunteers who are local to each center and willing to teach these games to others during the events. You should be an experienced game player but you do not need to know all of the games. And despite the name, you don’t have to identify as an LGBTQ+ person; allies are always welcome at all Tabletop Gaymers events. See our Gayme Masters page for more information and to apply.

Tell Us About Your LGBTQ+ Community Center

We want to connect with centers who are interested in social programs for their patrons. To qualify, your center must also be a nonprofit organization that is open to the public, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Centers with other well established programs for young adults are of particular interest. See our LGBTQ+ Community Centers page for more information and to express your interest.
