According to ZEvent's official website, charitable organizations selected to raise funds for are chosen based on three criteria. An excerpt reads (Note: The following was translated from French to English using Google Translate):

"Each year, the beneficiary associations are carefully selected with the help of the Fondation de France , according to three criteria: Reliability and transparency. Structural capacity to receive and effectively manage the amounts collected. Concrete projects geared towards the general interest. ZEVENT is not an association: it's an event that brings together streamers to raise funds for humanitarian organizations. Neither the organization nor the streamers are fundraising intermediaries. Donations go directly to the Fondation de France , which collects and redistributes funds to selected associations."
