It didn’t take long for Ross’s audience to hit the 20,000 like goal, and as promised, the Twitch star then announced his plans on stream.
Ross revealed that from now on he’d be donating 20% of his Twitch revenue to charity every month. In terms of allocation, 10% will be donated to the LGBTQ community and the other 10% will be given to an organization chosen by his viewers.
“I’m going to take 10% of all Twitch revenue and donate to the LGBTQ community and you guys and us as a community, we’re gonna all vote the other 10% to another type of community.”
It’s obvious Ross is looking to lead by example and make an impact outside of Twitch by dedicating a portion of his revenue to charity each month.
On top of this, by getting his audience involved he’s encouraging them to look and engage with communities that need help.
