Jingle Jam is a charity event which started in 2011 and now brings in hundreds of streamers every year, as they raise money during their streams for charity.

Two of these charities – Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and War Child – have also been appointed as strategic partners for the next three years.
Both charities will work with Jingle Jam to help it grow, by providing help with resources and planning.
The charities receving this year’s Jingle Jam money are:
- Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) – “a suicide prevention charity fighting to reduce the devastating impact of suicide in the UK”
- War Child – “ensuring a safe future for every child affected by war”
- Autistica – “the UK’s leading autism research and campaigning charity”
- Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal – “the dedicated charity for Bristol Children’s Hospital”
- Whale and Dolphin Conservation – “the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins”
- Cool Earth – “partners with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities who live in the rainforest and who have historically been the best at shaping and stewarding these ecosystems.”
- Sarcoma UK – “funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments”
- The Trevor Project – “the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people”
“Selection this year was, as ever, incredibly hard, but we believe these eight charities, including our two strategic partner charities, represent an extremely strong cohort that can deliver impact against our key focus areas in the UK, the US and all around the world,” Jingle Jam chair Rich Keith said in a statement.
“Our 2024 partners will also engage a broader range of creators, a key area for us as we embark on a new three-year approach for growth. We are delighted to have these wonderful charities on board and we’re already working on plans to make Jingle Jam 2024 the best yet.”
