Would you like to contribute just like these publishers and developers You can do so via The Red Cross

Many publishers have announced cash donations to support recovery efforts. Nintendo is giving 300 million yen. Sega Sammy is donating 200 million yen. Namco Bandai is giving 100 million yen. Tecmo Koei announced a 10 million yen donation to the Japan Red Cross and is also taking donations from employees and the general public. 

Sony Group announced a 300 million yen donation and also made a technological donation: 30,000 radios. 

Some publishes are taking an indirect approach to donations. 5pb., maker of all those dialogue-heavy adventure games you never see outside of Japan, is slashing the price of the iPhone version of Memories Off 6 T-Wave to 350 yen and will be donating all the sales through March 31. 
In addition to funding, Japan is also electricity starved right now. Power company Tepco has asked that customers limit power usage and has also begun staging rolling blackouts. 

Publishers are contributing here too. You might have already heard of the service suspension for games like Metal Gear Online, Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV. Other online titles are following suit and shutting down their servers. Taito, Sega and Namco Bandai have also been limiting operation at arcades.
