Support meaningful play
Meaningful play grows out of people who decide it’s worth backing – with time, with games, with support. Whichever form you choose, our promise is the same: transparency.

Gift a game
We’re building the association’s shared collection: gifted games become played games, at game nights and at the festival. Bring one to an event or write to us.
What we’re building together
The support we receive helps the Play Matters community grow and creates more room for play, new ideas and learning experiences.
A COMMUNITY AROUND PLAY
Settings where people can meet, play and connect.
ROOM FOR NEW IDEAS
Support for game designers at the beginning of their journey.
LEARNING AT THE TABLE
Events and experiences that encourage discovery and collaboration.
Lend a hand
The time you can give us is precious. Concrete roles for each event:
- Facilitators – you learn a game beforehand, then explain it at the table.
- Photographers – photograph only people who have given their consent.
- Trainers – bring your expertise into the community.
You can get involved as much as you can, whenever you can. Usually, it’s for a few hours at an event. We don’t require any ongoing commitment – each time, you simply let us know whether you’re able to join us.

Our promise to partners: clarity, timely communication and honest visibility – we say publicly who supports us and what the support made possible. We build partnerships that keep the community’s spirit: warm, open and honest.
