Support Nonprofits on #GivingTuesday: Help CBLDF, Hero Initiative, and BINC aid the Comics Community

1 day ago 4

Hey everyone! With so many nonprofits needing a helping hand during this crazy pandemic, today is a special #GivingTuesday! It’s a day to shine a light on charities and remind us all to show them some love through donations (which, by the way, are usually tax-deductible).

If you have the funds and whant to help the comics community, consider these three organizations:


CBLDF Comic Book Legal Defense Fund logo

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund receives more than a quarter of its annual budget in year-end gifts from supporters. But, that can change by helping donate on a special day like today!

All year round, the CBLDF boldly defends the right to read. Their tireless efforts confront the escalating censorship challenges faced by students, educators, and libraries, while providing an essential safety net for creators and retailers.

The CBLDF actively supports librarians, educators, and retailers in understanding their rights and ensuring books remain available on shelves. If you’re considering an organization to support, we strongly encourage you to acknowledge their invaluable work.

Donations to CBLDF are fully tax-deductible in the year they are made. Join the cause and empower CBLDF to continue their vital mission by making a donation today—whether it’s a holiday gift of a signed graphic novel, becoming a member, or contributing a tax-deductible cash donation.

Donate now and show off your support.


The Hero Initiative

The Hero Initiative helps comic creators in need.

Formed in 2000, the organization serves as a vibrant safety net for comic creators in need, empowering them to thrive. Transitioning to a not-for-profit in 2001, it has joyfully granted over $1,000,000 to countless comic book creators, celebrating their invaluable contributions and helping to shape the thriving industry we cherish today.

Hero builds a vibrant financial safety net for yesterday’s creators who may need emergency medical aid, support for life’s essentials, and a pathway back to fulfilling employment. It’s a wonderful opportunity for all of us to show our gratitude and give back to those who have brought us immense joy and inspiration.

Be a Hero and help them out… contribute today!


BINC

Binc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit devoted to supporting booksellers during their most challenging times. Born from the heartfelt desire of bookstore employees, the Binc Foundation aims to create a safety net for those facing unexpected financial difficulties. With compassion at its core, Binc is committed to being there for bookstore employees throughout the United States when they need it the most.

Binc’s help can change based on what retailers need. They’re all about lending a hand with costs like medical stuff or personal household expenses when certain situations pop up, such as:

  • If a bookstore worker gets sick and can’t make it to work.
  • If someone in a bookseller’s home gets sick and the employee has to quarantine to keep the virus from spreading more.
  • If a bookseller ends up losing over half their work hours because folks are told to stay home from work, or due to a mandatory quarantine.

You can donate now to help BINC get funds to those in need.
