Ugivia.org is the non-profit side of Ugivia.com. It profiles projects of different charitable organizations where donors may purchase items or players use their Ugivia dollars to build each project virtually. The completion of a project online signifies the appropriate amount of funds raised to begin real-world construction.
Through in-game advertising, Ugivia.com will allocate a portion of advertising revenue to match players points. Players may also have the option to upgrade or buy items to help them complete their project at any point during the game. Both forms of income will build Ugivia dollars and help people give back!
Through your contribution, we will be able to hire a staff of 4 for three months to complete production, and launch Ugivia on Facebook and on Ugivia.com, and create an app for mobile devices.
Players will use your product while they work towards a greater social change. The points that they earn are equal to real dollars that your brand supports.
We will customize your product across both of our platforms (ugivia.com & ugivia.org) and collaborate with your team to meet your products full potential.
Lindsay was born in Canada and spent a lot of her youth with her extended family in Mexico. Lindsay's studies and career took her on many different paths. She received a Diploma in Photojournalism in 1997, followed by a Certificate in Ophthalmic Assisting in 2004, and a degree in Communication Studies in 2008. She spent eight years in eye diagnostics at SickKids Hospital in Toronto, while donating her skills around the globe. Lindsay's global knowledge has further developed into a charity (SoKidsCanSee.org). Upon registering the charity, she quickly started trying to think of ways to fundraise for the projects she had in mind. Ugivia is the creation of those thoughts and Lindsay is passionate about helping not only her charity but others also.
Born and raised in Poland, Agnes came to Canada in 2006 to study animation. She has studied Cross-Cultural psychology for a short while, but books and research did not appeal to her as much as the world of art. She graduated from Sheridan Colleges Classical Animation program in 2011. Her involvement with Ugivia began in May 2011 when she met Lindsay. Lindsay's passion quickly convinced Agnes that this is a project she wants to be a part of. Agnes enjoys every minute spent on Ugivia and is excited to see what the world will gain as a result. She is responsible for the graphic design seen on both Ugivia.com and Ugivia.org.
Sophia is studying Computer Science at the University of Toronto. She is also a freelance web designer and developer. After working at a non-profit organization at Toronto General Hospital for a year, she joined Lindsay's charity SoKidsCanSee.org, donating her time and skills. This led her to be part of the Ugivia team. Sophia's innovative thinking and keen sense of what's both practical and doable are priceless to Ugivia. Helping others in need has always meant a lot to her and she is excited to be a part of this unique project to see how it will impact the world.
