Work with us

This platform runs on
community support.

ManaWell is a small, volunteer-run platform. We charge a 5% fee on each purchase to cover development and operational costs; no ads, no VC funding. We exist because the games industry has lost tens of thousands of jobs, and the people affected deserve a straightforward way to get real help.

If your organization cares about this community, whether you're a hosting provider, a tech company with a giving program, a games industry newsletter, or something we haven't thought of, we'd love to hear from you.
