CHARITY PARTNERS

Gen Con isn’t just about gaming; it’s also about giving! Gamers giving back to the community is a key part of The Best Four Days in Gaming™! This year Gen Con partnered with two incredible organizations in our charity efforts to support Indianapolis and the gaming community. Please welcome Indy Reads and Game Pathways as Gen Con’s official 2023 Charity Partners!

All proceeds from participating charity events will be split evenly between our two partners.

Indy Reads builds literacy, English language, and job readiness skills to empower adults and families to reach their full potential. For nearly 40 years, we’ve worked toward a vision of 100% literacy for all. Current statistics show that 1 in 6 adults in Indiana read at or below a fifth-grade level. Through its in person and virtual Community Classrooms and workforce certification programs, Indy Reads helps adult learners increase their literacy and English language proficiency, prepare for their High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma, and build the workforce skills to improve their employability and advancement potential. Indy Reads proudly serves adults of all literacy skills levels, including the most beginning-level.
