**GambleAware has published the full list of donations and pledges it received during
the first and second quarter of this financial year 2021-22, totalling £10.6 million.**

This sum was given in the form of voluntary donations from the gambling industry,
and excludes regulatory settlements and additional donations. The full list of organisations
and the amount donated is available to view in full [here](https://www.begambleaware.org/202122-supporters),
and ranges from as little as £7 to as much as £4 million.

Currently, GambleAware asks all those who profit from gambling in Britain to donate
a minimum of 0.1% of their Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) annually direct to GambleAware
under guidance issued by the Gambling Commission. The £10.6 million received includes
increased contribution levels from the leading operators who committed to raise 
the percentage of GGY they donate from 0.1% in increments to 1% by 2023. The leading
operators’ pledged percentage contribution this year is 0.5% of GGY.
