as ao3 approaches almost 6x what they asked for, here are some other places to give your money to
Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran
Taller Salud (which is non-profit in Puerto Rico currently collecting donations for support after Hurricane Fiona)
Out & Equal (which supports LGBTQ+ during the hiring process + helps defend against workplace discrimination)
The Foundation for AIDS Research
Center for Black Equity (supports the black queer community)
Funds for Writers (which offers grants to aspiring writers so they can afford publication, time off from work, etc.)
The Audre Lorde Project (which directly supports queer POC in New York City)
PEN America (which helps writers in financial need across the United States)
This is an entire list of organizations supporting queer and BIPOC STEM students you can donate to
The BGD Press (which specifically publishes queer POC)
****but if you want to directly support the people who make you free content, the next time your favorite fic writer or artists makes a crowd funding post, opens commissions, talks about their patreon/ko-fi, donate your money there!!****
literally Wikipedia would be better at this point
AO3 is asking for donations again, so when they inevitably far surpass what they ask for, please consider this! Also, with the recent legislative attacks on trans people and reproductive rights, consider donating to Planned Parenthood, the National Center for Transgender Equality, or the Transgender Law Center.
