The activities of the corporation are for the benefit of the citizens of Troy, NY and the surrounding area. In 2024, TVGS spent funds at the beginning of the year to renovate and update the coworking office for our members. We wanted to ensure that members had a comfortable and great space to work in and build games! One of the bigger initiatives for the year was to be more involved with the various game fests and video game themed conventions that were happening in the Capital Region. To achieve this, we set out to assist with speaker outreach for 1UpState, shared talks and hosted booths at 1UpState, PAX East, Wolfjam, Adirondacon, ROC Game Fest, RPI GameFest, and many more events and raised money for Albany Med Children's Hospital via our Extra Life fundraising event. Lastly, we were able to award funds to two different game projects via the ProtoStar pitch competition, and provided ongoing community input to the developers via Community Night events Education has always been a large focus of TVGS, and this year, we were able to provide services to a local program where we celebrated our first cohort of graduating students from the two-year high school CTE course we developed in partnership with Questar. Additionally we taught free game development lessons for K-12 students at our office (via field trips and family STEAM day), and at external venues like The Arts Center (in collaboration with Creative Action Unlimited) and Mohonasen CAT (in collaboration with Rise High) Lastly, we continued our traditional activities by organizing weekly and monthly virtual gatherings to connect indie game developers from across the Capital Region and beyond. We also added new members to the board of directors who bring additional experience related to grant administration, community outreach, and legal matters that affect the game industry 7480 54751 54751 Jamey Stevenson Co-Founder 40 0 0 0 Thomas Carmona Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Laquana Cooke Director 1 0 0 0 Steven Eychner Director 1 0 0 0 Darian Shump Director 1 0 0 0 Darryl Nunn Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Thomas Carmona 30 3rd Street Troy NY 12180 8454756666 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 50962 14785 12113 55389 7480 140729 0 3500 0 27300 37050 67850 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50962 18285 12113 82689 44530 208579 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 208579 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50962 18285 12113 82689 44530 208579 1 1 0 0 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 TVGS provided Instruction and Curriculum Development to a local Educational Organization known as Questar III BOCES that delivers more than 275 educational and administrative services to 23 school districts in Rensselaer, Columbia, and Greene counties in New York State.
