After You Donate
Straight to the project you chose. We use your donation to purchase the exact equipment, materials, or services that the facility requested. No admin fees, no middlemen, no mystery. You funded it, they get it.
Once a project is fully funded, equipment is typically ordered within 48 hours and delivered within 2-4 weeks, depending on the item. Custom installations (like room renovations) may take longer. You'll get updates at every step.

Getting Funded
Go to Hospitals: Get Funded and fill out the 5-minute application form. It's completely free, no obligations. Tell us about your facility and what your kids need, and we'll take it from there.
Yes. Donors cover equipment, shipping, setup, warranty, and ongoing support. $0 to your facility, ever. No hidden fees, no cost-sharing, no strings attached. We built this platform so hospitals never have to choose between their budget and their kids' wellbeing.
Gaming stations, WiFi upgrades, AR glasses, room renovations, life-saving equipment, STEAM materials, or anything else your kids need. We don't do one-size-fits-all. Tell us what would make the biggest difference for your patients, and we'll make it happen.
Application review: 48 hours. Campaign creation: 1-2 weeks. Funding: most projects under $5K are fully funded within 30 days. Delivery: 2-4 weeks after funding completes. From application to kids using the equipment, you're looking at roughly 2-3 months.
Every project includes a 3-year warranty, a 24/7 customer service line, and a dedicated Games For Love coordinator assigned to your facility. We don't deliver and disappear. If something breaks, if you need help, if you want to request more—we're one call away.
Absolutely. Many of our partner facilities have 3-5 active projects running simultaneously. There's no limit. If your kids need it, apply for it. We'll help you prioritize and get campaigns live as fast as possible.

After Funding
Most equipment ships within 48 hours of full funding and arrives at your facility within 2-4 weeks. Custom items or installations may take longer, and your GFL coordinator will keep you updated on exact timelines.
We handle it. For items that need installation (gaming stations, WiFi upgrades, room renovations), our team coordinates everything with your facility. You don't need to hire anyone or figure it out on your own.
Every project includes a 3-year warranty covering defects, malfunctions, and normal wear from hospital use. If something breaks, contact your GFL coordinator or call our 24/7 support line. We'll repair or replace it at no cost to your facility.
Reach out to your dedicated GFL coordinator, or submit a new application at Hospitals: Get Funded. Whether you need additional equipment, support for a different department, or help with an existing installation—we're here.
