Created by the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) and Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®), the Initiative is a multi-year effort designed to identify worthy causes that will utilize direct contributions to flourish over the long term and to provide a variety of assistance to multiple beneficiaries. The Initiative is a unique giving program that will benefit many different audiences and will be true to the idea of making a “lasting impact” inside the gaming industry and beyond. Separately, AGEM and GLI each have rich histories of benefitting their host communities as well as individuals and organizations worldwide. While each organization will continue its own outreach, together, through the Lasting Impact Philanthropic Initiative, AGEM and GLI will work together to further expand their efforts to make lasting impacts worldwide.
