Giving Thanks for the Stories: Accountability Post!
🕑 Added 2021-11-08 20:22:14 +0000 UTCHi friends!
As I've been widening the scope of the stories I tell on "F*cked Up Fairy Tales," I've been searching for ways to responsibly share stories that fall outside my cultural experience. On a recent popular video, a TikTok user suggested I donate a portion of monetary gains from my stories to an organization that supports the people whose story I've shared. I think this is a great idea, and I'm excited to make my first donation!
Each month, I'll donate 1/3 of my funds for that month towards a charity that represents an underserved population whose stories I borrowed. I picked "one third" because the number three is such a popular motif in fairy tales. To choose the charity, I'll look to my most popular diverse story that month. In October, "The Corpse Bride" video got a lot of attention, so I'm donating my charitable portion to The Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island.
If I ever rejoin the Creator Fund on TikTok, I'll likely use that money for my charitable portion, but for now I will use Patreon funds.
I'll be sharing the group I pick here, as well as making a video to share the receipts on TikTok.

Yeah I personally wait till the last day of the month or the second day of the month and that's when I send all my roses for the lives or, presents or whatever knowing that when I'm donating is it going to that chair

That's an excellent idea. I'd be up for that.

That's awesome. Maybe do 1 live a month and donate the funds from that to a charity also. Then we would be tuning in and supporting that months charity (madam Adam does this last Saturday if the months live). We raised over 3k for charities
This is fantastic!!!! It can also help to raise more funds for these groups as you make people aware they exist! You are doing a beautiful job of using your platform for good!
