Given is brought to you by Tzedakah Works, a not-for-profit operation, started by our family in 2005. Much of the information in the game is based on the excellent work of renowned author Rabbi Alfred Koltach and his informative books The Jewish Book of Why and How to Live a Jewish Life. The information used in the game was also reviewed by two Jewish scholars.

Half of the net profits of Tzedakah Works will be donated to charity. If you would like to donate money to Tzedakah Works, we will use your money to accelerate the distribution of Given by sending free sample units and donated units to Jewish institutions and schools. Order Given today.

People often ask us which charities we support and donate to and we reply, "Mostly the ones we recommend in the game," which are listed on the Library page. Although we have not generated a profit from Given yet, in 2007 we donated part of Given revenue and part of our income to:
