Why Become a Member?
If you are either a qualified charitable organization or licensed supplier benefiting from charitable gaming, or you are interested in getting started with charitable gaming activities, we encourage you to support our work to keep charitable gaming viable and available in Michigan. Opposition comes from a variety of sources, such as for-profit gaming or those opposed to gaming for philosophical reasons.
MiCGA is composed of member charities and suppliers from around the State of Michigan.
The Board of Directors consists solely of representatives from charities. Members of the board have diverse legislative and business backgrounds, ensuring effectiveness in developing strategy and in negotiations with legislators and regulators.
​
We are your voice advocating for your ability to continue benefiting from charitable gaming. Without an active, funded organization performing this advocacy, charitable gaming could be severely curtailed - and along with it, your charitable work or business.
