What are we?
A pan-fandom fundraiser for Jewish organizations through fanwork.
You do not need to be Jewish to participate.
Who are we?
We are a group of fans who decided a fandom tzedakah drive sounded like a great idea. We emailed Fandom Trumps Hate for their playbook and took it from there.
What is tzedakah?
‘Tzedakah’ is a Jewish concept similar to ‘charity’ in that time or money is given to those in need of assistance, but differs in that it is seen as an act of justice to build a better world, and best given anonymously so the emphasis is on the act, not the giver.
~🦋~
Everyone is encouraged to participate, Jewish or not. We are fundraising for Jewish organizations, some in Israel, which is deeply important in Judaism and home to half the Jewish population. Neither fans nor creators are required to be Jewish nor espouse any politics, just polite in their interactions.
Much like Ilya and Shane creating their own charity, you too can support the causes you care about by doing what you love: creating fanworks! You can find a complete list of potential charities here; creators can choose which charities their bidders create for!
Creator sign ups are Jan 26-Feb 8. For a full schedule, see the below graphic.
More questions? Here is the FAQ, or feel free to DM me! Fandom Trumps Hate is a lovely event that brings fandom together, encourages creation, and has raised over $300k over 10 years!
@fandomtrumpshate browsing period is open! This year there are 4 Danny Phantom offers and additional 4 (or more?) Danny Phantom creators who offer any fandom they created in before!

even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise--
--as Victor Hugo didn't actually say.
The Winter 2025 Bishop Myriel Fundraiser is now open. This year will be dedicated to immigrants, many of whom are languishing in private prisons whose stock just went way, way up.
Our goal this year is at least 25 auction items and over $1000 in funds raised. If you've never participated before, this is your year. DM if you would like to participate but need advice!
Get your fic, art, books, crafts, costumes, and other offers ready. You can submit them according to the rules under the cut, and bidding on each item will start as soon as it is posted. Bidding in REPLIES, NOT REBLOGS, will continue through the end of December 21st, the darkest night of the year.
The recommended places to donate this year are:
1) RAICES Texas, an immigration-focused group which freed more than 2,000 people from immigration detention over the years. They fought to reunify families when children were ripped from their parents' arms during the first Trump administration, and have now pivoted to using funds to provide legal support for the detained, while continuing to pay bonds for those clients.
2) Annunciation House, a shelter serving immigrants. Run by Catholics in Texas who open their doors to the stranger without asking to see their papers, this year they faced down a vicious attempt by the Texas government to shut them down as a "stash house." The attorney general claimed in court that they followed "a more Bohemian set of ‘seven commandments,’ including commandments to ‘visit’ people when ‘incarcerated’ and ‘care (for them) when they’re sick.'” What could be more in the spirit of this fundraiser's namesake, Bishop Myriel?
If you are not in the US and/or find it difficult to donate via those pages and/or want to support a particular organization doing good work to assist immigrants that's not listed above, please feel free to select another organization. From groups funding rescue ships in the Mediterranean to those supporting refugees stuck in camps around the world, there is a lot of good work to be done.
Rules for submitting your offers and bidding on them under the cut
Rules
1. Offering
SUBMIT your offering post to this blog! Include a link to this rules post in your own post, and also a minimum starting offer for your item, which can be a fic, art, or a physical item--be creative! Your offer does NOT have to be connected to the Les Misérables fandom, although such items are always welcome! Any terms and conditions of your offer should also be included in the post, eg what fandoms you are wiling to write for, any hard no’s on content, etc. Offer posts can keep coming in through the SUBMIT button until the auction closes.
2. Bidding
Bidding on each item opens as it is posted. Only bid on items tagged #Winter25. There will also be a masterpost to help distinguish this year's items from last years. Bid in REPLIES NOT REBLOGS (this is important because replies enable me to figure out who bid when and avoid conflicts) until 11:59PM Eastern Time December 21st, 2024. The highest bidder at that time will be the winner. Bidding can start as each item is posted.
3. Claiming or delivering your item
Please do not donate your bid until I have contacted you to inform you that you won the item!
If you have won an item, I will contact you directly via DM and ask you to provide a receipt or other verification for a donation to an immigration organization in the amount bid. This DM may come from either @bishopmyrielfundraiser or my main blog @lifeisyetfair. After you have made your donation, send such the receipt or verification [email protected] or in a screenshot on Tumblr. Make sure the proof contains the amount you donated!
AFTER I have verified your donation, I will contact the offerer to let them know they can deliver the item. If you do not respond at all to my attempts to contact you within one week, I will move on to the next highest bidder. So check your DMs.
4. Sending the item you offered
All items should be delivered by March 31st, 2025 at the absolute latest, unless you have made other arrangements, eg the custom item/fic takes longer than that to create or write and you communicate about this. Earlier is even better, but remember that the most important thing is to keep the winner informed and make sure everyone has a good time.
