The [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/aerie-fund-is-ready-to-serve-avatars.88904/ Aerie Fund] helps gamers overcome catastrophic hardships. Here is how they do this, and how you can help:

* We provide funds and facilitate fundraising efforts for vetted gamers who need help during a catastrophic hardship (financial, medical, and natural disaster).
* We promote awareness and raise funds for other 501c3 organizations centered around issues gamers care about (i.e., cyber-bullying).
* We work with developers and gaming communities to build fun, inclusive, and cause-centered gaming experienced.
* We promote social interaction and apolitical activism to bring awareness to compelling (and important) causes that directly impact gamer lives.

''“We hope that AERIE Fund will serve all of the Avatars in New Britannia for many years to come. Please [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/aerie-fund-is-ready-to-serve-avatars.88904/ visit our site], stay in the loop (follow us), give feedback, and support our efforts when you can. Let’s set the gold standard for gaming communities out there, and show the world how SoTA rolls.”'' – Thexedor Marhamm
