Every win also brings joy to a child in hospital

When a Luck For Good prize is won, 20 to 50% of it goes to a charity. We have chosen small, hands-on charities that work with children, where every dollar quickly turns into a smile, some comfort or a well-earned break.

How it works

  1. 1

    One charity per contest

    The rules of each contest name the charity that benefits and the share it will receive, from 20 to 50% of the prize.

  2. 2

    A guaranteed share

    The charity's share is part of the guaranteed prize. It depends neither on a later donation nor on the winner's goodwill.

  3. 3

    Paid directly

    If luck strikes, the winner receives the prize and the charity receives its share.

Why grassroots charities

Big causes already have big donors. A local charity, with a small staff and lots of volunteers, sees the difference right away: a week at summer camp, a room for parents near the hospital, a clown's visit before surgery.

Why kids

A contest is about luck and joy. We want that joy to go first to the kids who need it most: sick, hospitalized and premature children, and their families.

The charities we would like to support

Ten charities per country, checked one by one: website online, recent activity, no known controversy.

These charities are not Luck For Good partners at this stage and have not given us their agreement. An agreement is signed with each charity before any contest that names it.
