FTH 2022: The details.
In late 2016, the Fandom Trumps Hate fanworks auction was founded in response to the disastrous US presidential election, as an attempt to band together and put some good back into the world by raising money for nonprofit organizations working to protect the vulnerable and marginalized. Over the past five years, we’ve raised more than $135,000 together for a range of progressive organizations — and we aren’t quitting now.
In this post, you’ll find the calendar for the 2022 auction, as well as this year’s list of supported organizations. If you’re unfamiliar with FTH, or if you just want a refresher, take a look at our freshly-updated FAQ.
This year, we are raising money for roughly a dozen small, progressive nonprofits doing vital work on shoestring budgets: advocating for immigrant children, providing running water to Navajo communities, supporting incarcerated sex workers, and reviving local journalism, among others. Additionally, we are supporting the whole category of organizations known as abortion funds: grassroots community groups that help people make the best reproductive choices for themselves. We’ve identified a few specific abortion funds that are worthy recipients, but we have also linked the National Network of Abortion Funds’ directory to help you connect to your local abortion fund. See the full list of supported organizations here.
