Idea: A Heifer International fundraiser/ community event
There is a nonprofit called Heifer International that lets donors gift real livestock to poor families (along with education on farming and livestock husbandry.)
$20 - gift a chicken
$30 - honeybees
$120 - a goat or sheep
$500 - a cow
How about a special community event where if the community reaches the goal, the Farm RPG team will donate to Heifer?
In a sense, it would be the FarmRPG community working together to gift someone a real farm animal.
Option 1:
This could easily be a special Community Center monthly goal.
Or make it part of a future themed event with event quests and storyline.
Option 2:
Instead of an in-game event, the donation to Heifer could be tied to a company growth benchmark, like the number of monthly support packs sold or number of Patreon accounts.
——
Just to be clear, when you donate to Heifer, you are really just donating a hypothetical goat, cow, et al. Yes, Real people really do get real animals, at some point, but Heifer doesn’t send you a photo of “your” cow.
It’s a reputable nonprofit, and an idea I think that FarmRPG players can get behind.
Discloser statement: I am not connected to Heifer Int. in any way, but my family did “buy a goat” (ie donate to Heifer) one year instead of buying each other holiday gifts.
