Day of the Devs Transitions into a Nonprofit Entity
Day of the Devs has revealed its transition to an independent nonprofit organization, marking a significant milestone in its evolution. As part of this development, the entity has initiated its inaugural fundraising campaign, focused on covering essential expenses such as venue rental, equipment, personnel, and video production costs. By establishing a fiscal sponsorship with Legacy Global, Day of the Devs strives to increase the transparency and public accessibility of its funding. "This represents a new era for Day of the Devs," stated Tim Schafer, co-founder of the organization. "Witnessing this event become as independent as the remarkable indie games it has consistently showcased is truly fulfilling." Initially founded in 2012 by Double Fine Productions and iam8bit, Day of the Devs was established to, in part, shed light on emerging and underappreciated talent within the industry.
