Become a MAGFest SUPERSTAR!

With your charitable donation, you can become a MAGFest Superstar and help our organization put on events for years to come! Plus, you’ll get some pretty nifty perks while you’re at it. MAGFest, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so your donations are tax-deductible! 🥳

By adding an optional donation when purchasing your badge (BEFORE DECEMBER 1st), you’ll receive the following perks:

$30 Donation

With your $30 donation and above, you officially join the MAGFest Superstars Squad! With this, you will be listed as a donor to MAGFest on our 2024 Superstars page. You will also be able to submit a picture of your beloved pet to be featured on the “Pets of MAGFest” video displayed on the “Jumbotron” at Super MAGFest (it’s that huge pair of screens in between the escalators). Additionally, your name or handle will be featured on the Jumbotron! Speaking of Super MAGFest, you’ll receive a coveted Superstar ribbon to proudly display on your badge (or give to your friend, or eat—whatever, it’s your ribbon. Pls don’t eat it), as well as a specific Superstar Discord Role in our MAGFest Discord Server.

$420 Donation

If you’ve got some spare capital to burn and want that nice tax write-off, donating $420 (or more) is the perfect way to give your wallet the middle finger. In addition to the perks from the $30 tier, you’ll also receive a personalized thank you letter from the MAGFest office, you’ll get Twitch VIP Status during the event, and we’ll specifically mention and thank you during closing ceremonies. But that’s not all! You’ll be able to submit a picture of your pet(s) that will be proudly showcased on the Jumbotron in a premium highlighted way.

$1337 Donation

If you’ve got that “FU money”, what better way to spend it than by supporting your favorite events-based music and gaming organization! With this donation, you’ll have your own special acknowledgement—all by yourself—on our Jumbotron during the event. Plus, we’ll add a custom Twitch Emoji of your choice that ALL subscribers will be able to use (please, nothing that will break Twitch’s ToS, though). But perhaps most excitingly, you’ll be PERSONALLY FUNDING a Community Graffiti Banner at Super MAGFest!

What’s a “Graffiti Banner” you say? Well, during Super MAGFest 2022, we had strategically placed what we called a “Vandalized Banner” outside of the expo halls, with the sole purpose of directing any potential hooligans from graffiti-ing our other signage, to instead vandalizing in a more appropriate way. Well, it turned out to be quite popular and creative! And so with your donation, we will place a custom “Graffiti Banner” in our event space, specifically noting that it was donated by you! With this, you’ll be able to offer would-be troublemakers an outlet for their creative tagging. And best of all, you’ll get to take said banner home with you at the end of the event (assuming it’s not stolen, of course)! Please note that because of banner production and display space, we limit the $1337 tier to 10 donors.

Additionally, we want to truly thank anyone willing to offer such a huge donation to our organization, and so we’ll be throwing in “mystery garbage” from our warehouse storage! What could this possibly include? Maybe some past merch, historical tchotchkes, or even a can of beans!* 

*Notes On $1337 Tier:

If you are a returning Superstar donor (at the $1337 tier or higher), you’ll have an option to swap your Graffiti Banner with a CUSTOM CREATED banner of whatever you want, within reason. We’ll help create a banner featuring something you think would brighten the attendee’s event. Maybe you’d like to proudly display your pet on a banner? Or do you have a fun message for attendees? Maybe a silly shitpost? All design concepts will have to be individually approved, and we won’t permit things like brand logos or advertisements.

Your donations go a long way <3

We want to truly thank you for even considering donating. Your donations will help keep us going for hopefully years and years to come. If you’re in a position where you can offer a bit extra to our non-profit org, we’d be unbelievably grateful. And hopefully the handful of superfluous perks we can offer will brighten your event, just a bit. But we don’t want you, or anyone else, to feel left out if they aren’t in a position to donate, or just plain don’t want to (and frankly, we don’t even want your donation if you’re not in a financial position to flush it down this MAG-powered toilet). Just by coming to MAGFest, you’re still supporting us, and we’re forever grateful for that. <3

It’s extremely humbling to know that there are people out there who love what we do enough to support us with a donation, even if they’re not really getting anything in return. Your donation truly means the world to us.

All donations come with a receipt which can be used as a tax deduction.

“Alright, I’ll donate then. What’s next?”

Prior to the event, we’ll be emailing any donors that qualify for at-event perks with instructions on how to receive them no later than December 2nd. For example, we’ll be asking for your Discord username information so we can add the Superstar role to it. Donors will have until December 20th to respond to any perk requiring their input. Each email subject line will start with [MAGFest Superstar], so keep an eye on your inbox leading up to the event!

“And where do I donate, again?”

When you’re purchasing your badge, there is a section where you can add an optional donation. Be sure to add your donation at the time of purchasing your badge (or at a later date, using your unique badge link) to ensure it’s tied to your account! Please note that in order to receive any at-event Superstar perks, you will need to donate by DECEMBER 1ST! Here’s what you’ll be looking for:

“What if I want to donate, but won’t be attending the event?”

You can donate directly to MAGFest here via Givebutter at any time of the year! Please note: Donations made via Givebutter are NOT counted toward the Superstar program.

“Cool beans.”

Yee! Thanks for making it this far in this gigantic wall of text. We appreciate any and all you’re able to offer to this absurd operation we call MAGFest. :)
