got a few other artist pals who were interested in helping out, we're gonna try for a little auction at either a local café or a local record store (owners of both are interested, if we can get enough artists/donations maybe we can do events at both places) and we all agreed that the money will go to médecins sans frontières because they seem like great dudes

i still am unsure if this is a sarcastic thread to point out how hosed up everyone is or if you were serious with your encouragement to help and simply tempered it in dumb gbs stuff to make it more palatable for the aforementioned hosed up people (both are admirable) but i'd like to thank you anyway because it is cool to help people

Mercy Corps (http://www.mercycorps.org/) is another good organization, they've done a lot of disaster work. 83% of contributions go to their relief work. Can we get them added to the OP?

People in GBS donated to every single international disaster without prompting every single time. Encroaching the donation thread in some sort of moronic deconstruction of gbs ethos is just par for the course for the tryhard OP.

definitely, some of my pals are really talented so there is sure to be some cool stuff. some musicians have expressed interest too, and a pal who co-owns a cool neighborhood club with an attached café said he would love to have us use the place, meaning we could do a little benefit show and charity auction if we wanted. might turn out to be a cool little thing :)

I asked people to donate on Facebook. That's the best I can do for now, sadly. I'm kind of broke at the moment, but I'll see if I can scrounge up 5 or 10 bucks to send over.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

Confirming médecins sans frontières/doctors without borders is a great charity choice in terms of using funds fairly and where aid is needed most. My family donates per paycheck and we're doing an additional donation for Nepal.

Thanks for this thread OP. I'm grateful for your empathy in a place where there's precious little.

because caring about things in a place thousands of miles away instead of the suffering next door is loving retarded, and ignorant. especially when that money probably won't even make it all the way to the place with the hip name on the other side of the world you're trying to send it to. the less we help ourselves the less we can help anyone else

Yeah I only want to donate to international disaster relief purely because of how cool I will appear :downs:

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.
MSF already has some teams on the ground in Nepal. Plus 87% of your money goes to actual programs and services instead of fundraising and administration. They got my money. Helping is nice.
