The Pokémon Company Group Donates $5 Million to Organizations Around the World Following Pokémon GO Fest 2020

The Pokémon Company group, which includes The Pokémon Company International and its parent organization, The Pokémon Company, recently announced the intent to donate a minimum of $5 million USD following Pokémon GO Fest 2020. This donation is in addition to the $5 million USD minimum that its partners at Niantic, publisher and developer of Pokémon GO, also committed to give organizations following the event.

A large portion of the organizations receiving funds from this donation were chosen due to their focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. As part of The Pokémon Company group's ongoing commitment to the Black community, this includes organizations supporting education and mentorship opportunities for Black children.
