Happy birthday! With regards to the donation stream, a dollar matching drive during a well-organized stream is fun. DougDoug isn't a small streamer, but you can get the gist of it in the first 6 minutes here (https://youtu.be/Yc_Hv4cz2FI).

Hi, I'm very late to this, new patreon sub looking through past videos, anyways I've run a number of charity streams in small fandom communities (biggest was a charity stream for the blaseball fandom with about ~100 average viewers, and we raised 7k for Trans Lifeline from small form donations, 10k total with a last minute donation from a fandom merch platform so I don't really count that as something attainable for most streams.), and I have a few bits of advice. 1: Decide what type of stream you want to do beforehand. I generally distinguish them from Event-based livestreams and personality-based livestreams. An Event-based livestream generally doesn't need as much social capital to become popular and therefore raise a good bit of money, while a personality-based livestream needs a lot of social capital to become popular and raise money. Some big twitch streamer person could do basically anything on stream and people would donate, because they've hit a level where they are just too big to fail at that current moment. For a smaller streamer, an event-based livestream is def the way to go. 2: When handling an event-based livestream, make a schedule way ahead of time (guests, segments, challenges, donation incentives), and stick to it day of. A charity livestream imo is 90% prep work 10% execution day of, you need graphics, schedules, all sorts of logistics that feels overwhelming sometimes, especially if you want to go big. That's why in my livestreams I've run I generally plan at least 3 months ahead. 3: Last tip is to make sure you have a crew of some sort, doing a charity livestream is exhausting and you want to make sure you have a group of people working together to help spread out the labor. If you have any questions or anything regarding charity streams, feel free to ask here or in your discord, I love the concept of using the economy of twitch for good instead of consolidating extreme amounts of money in a small few streamers.
