Our Mission
NYC Gaymers Inc. empowers gamers across the intersections of orientation, identity, expression, race, and ability, in order to uplift and center our most marginalized community members through education, advocacy, and the creation of safer spaces.
NYC Gaymers (est. 2012) began as a member-led community of LGBTQIA+ gamers, moving to uplift the voices of marginalized gamers, and sustain a space that shares a diversity and passion that is reflective of both New York City and Gaming culture.
In 2020 the leadership of the group incorporated and began the work to become a charitable non-profit to build upon the long standing work that those involved set out to do. In 2022, NYC Gaymers received it’s determination letter from the IRS obtaining 501c3 tax exempt status.
