One of the most well-known indie game storefronts, Itch.io, is partnering with Necrosoft Games to host an incredible charity drive to help support the people of Ukraine. This Bundle for Ukraine is said to offer about 1,000 different works valued at over $6,500 (USD). The minimum amount that you can donate is just $10. $10 to access all of that content.
Itch.io says that all proceeds are going to charity. The charities in question are the International Medical Corps and Voices of Children. We have some details on those charities right here if you would like to know more.
International Medical Corps provides medical assistance in the region. They have very low fundraising overhead (1% of income), with 89% of donations going to medical aid and 10% to administration.
Voices of Children, a Ukrainian organization that helps children cope with the horrors of war, PTSD, readjusting to school, and getting back to being kids. They have also been doing a lot of grassroots impromptu work during the war, such as helping set up shelters. Our hope is that this war will be over soon, and they can begin the work of healing these kids' hearts.

Again, the donation starts at just $10, but paying more is always welcome for charities drives such as this. The charity drive looks like it will end about 10 days from the time of this posting, or roughly around Thursday, March 17 at 2AM (ET).
It should be noted that you are not getting Steam keys with these donations. You will be getting access to direct downloads of the games through the Itch.io page.
