Between Jan. 23 and Feb. 5, all the proceeds from the skin Firefighter Tristana (unvaulted for this fundraiser) will go directly to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund. This legacy skin costs 1820 RP which means it will be around $15 to buy it.
VALORANT
As for VALORANT, between Jan. 22 and Jan. 30, the EX.O Collection will become a Give Back Bundle. Weapons skins or accessories, all the proceeds from the buying of the collection during this time will go to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund.

According to Riot Games, as many Rioters ended up losing their homes, the organization is providing "temporary housing, emergency stipends, and access to advisory services". Since the LA headquarters is very close to the Palisades Fires (the biggest one active), many Riot Games workers are already working from home. "We will support both the immediate response and years-long recovery efforts in Southern California", they wrote.
"Last week, we launched a double-donation campaign for Rioters, tripling their charitable contributions for organizations" such as the California Fire Foundation, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, International Medical Corps, American Red Cross, and World Central Kitchen. Riot also announced many direct donations made to the California Fire Foundation and International Medical Corps to support relief efforts.
