Hello all,

We're excited for the "Harpists For Humanity" charity event from June 1st to June 8th!

As a reminder, at your convenience during that week we're encouraging you to play out spontaneously in your local community; in a park, sidewalk, any random public space! Attached to this post is a fundraiser flyer for The Trevor Project (primarily crisis intervention and support for LGBTQ+ youth) setup via the service Tiltify for charitable donations. You can keep the flyer with you as you play, printed or on a device, for any passers by that would like to make a donation.

The mod team will be making a donation for each post during that week showing participation in the event, either your setup or a picture/video of you if you're comfortable, so you can feel that just by participating and sharing you're making a difference for the charity regardless of how many donations you get. Prioritize having fun and going out of your comfort zone :)

Here is a link to the Tiltify fundraiser

Hello everyone,

We’re looking forward to our charity event, Harpists for Humanity, happening June 1^(st) through 8^(th)! As a reminder, we’re encouraging people to spontaneously play out in their local communities in a public space both for fun and good; we’ll provide a printable QR code sheet connected to a Tiltify fundraiser for a charity in case any passersby would like to donate. The mod team will also donate for each post about the charity during that week, so just by sharing you’re making a difference as well!

We would like to hear from you regarding which LGBTQIA+ charity to support in the event. This thread is set up in contest mode with random sorting and upvotes hidden. If you would like, please:

1. Option of sharing a link to a charity and giving a brief blurb about what it is and why it’s a great one to support.

2. Check out the thread and upvote any that sound appealing to you!

This thread will remain up until Monday 5/11.

Resources:

Not all charities are created equal, check out Charity Navigator for ratings and information: Charity Navigator

The mod team will thoroughly vet the winning charity from this thread, and on the off chance the winning charity seems to have concerns we reserve the right to jump to the 2^(nd) place or another option if it seems more effective as a charity.

Wanted to share this listicle of charities to give some ideas, of course keeping in mind we did not individually vet each listed here but just for reference: Example list via Cosmopolitan

We would like to connect with a graphic designer or artist in the community, please reach out!

Special thanks to u/twilightwillow for their assistance and insights on this process.
