PixelGuard Foundation equips children, parents, and gaming communities with the knowledge to recognize and resist predators in gaming environments — before grooming begins.
"Don't talk to strangers" was never designed for gaming. Predators build trust over weeks and months inside the games your child loves — we teach families exactly how that happens and how to stop it.
Age-appropriate curricula for kids 5–12 that teach how predators use gaming platforms, in-game chat, and voice channels to groom children — and exactly what to do when it happens.
Pushing game developers, platforms, and policymakers to build stronger protections into the games and lobbies where children spend their time.
Partnering with gamers, streamers, clan leaders, and community managers to shift gaming culture from the inside — making it harder for predators to operate undetected.
PixelGuard Foundation was incorporated in Washington State to address a critical gap in child safety education — one that overlooks gaming environments, the exact spaces where predators actively target and groom children.
"The danger isn't strangers. It's the 'friend' your child has been gaming with for six months who has been grooming them the entire time — and nobody taught them to recognize it."
Whether you're a parent worried about who your child is gaming with, an educator building curriculum, or a donor ready to make an impact — we'd love to hear from you.
