#GivingTuesday in the fediverse: instance admins, mutual aid, 501(c)(3)s, and more (2/3)

https://privacy.thenexus.today/giving-tuesday-in-the-fediverse/

Non-profit 501(c)(3)s also focus on #GivingTuesday as a key part of their fundraising -- and many employers will match donations.

If you're looking to support a fediverse-related 501(c)(3) non-profit, @iftas (Independent Federated Trust & Safety) supports volunteer moderators, community managers, and administrators with a moderator community, a library of resources, DSA Guide for the Fediverse, and tools like FediCheck.

As well as individual donations, IFTAS also appreciates (and recognizes!) supporting instances, so if your instance has a bit of money to spare, please encourage your admins to help improve safety on the fediverse!

Two other 501(c)(3)'s who consistently do great work and align with fedi's values

  • MediaJustice challenges corporate media and big tech power in pursuit of racial justice

  • Fight for the Future Education Fund is a group of artists, engineers, activists, and technologists fight for a future where technology is a force for liberationโ€” not oppression.

And there's more to society than the fediverses and digital rights! Here are three other 501(c)(3)'s I'm supporting this year. If you've got the resources, please also consider supporting them โ€“ or similiar organizations in your area.

  • Palmetto State Abortion Fund a 100% volunteer run nonprofit that serves South Carolinians seeking abortion care

  • Gender Justice League, a civil & human rights organization that focuses on elevating the rights of TwoSpirit, Trans, & Gender Diverse (2STGD) communities in Washington State & beyond

  • REBUILD, a Darkness RISING program connecting formerly incarcerated and justice-impacted people of color with culturally competent therapists of color
