Pokemon Company International is about to implement a very generous plan. Over the next five years, the international branch of the company that owns the Pokemon IP will donations $25 million for children around the world through several different charities.
Most 25 million USD will be donated in cash to organizations working to improve the lives of children and support social justice. Another portion of this donation will consist of products Pokemon TCG and Pokemon Center. Sometimes, cash can’t beat the appeal of a giant stuffed Pikachu.
Parties that will receive support include globally active organizations, volunteer groups in Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania, as well as local organizations near headquarters The Pokemon Company International in Bellevue, Washington and London, UK. Some of the organizations that appear on the list of recipients include Save the Children, UNICEF USA, The Trevor Project, Indian Child Welfare Association, Toy Foundation, Black Girls CODE, GlobalGiving.
