@evan “some” of the donated money??

@BegoniaArizona yes, I set a goal of $10K on the fundraising, and I was hoping to distribute it to 4-5 different projects.

All of the money will go to Black-led projects on the fediverse, but each project will only get some of the money.

Does that make sense?

@evan yes thank you for being explicit. Transparency is important. I remember donating to Tamil Rice’s mother after her child was murdered by Cleveland police. Sean King raised $25000 and Samara Rice never received a penny. Very cautious about white folks (like myself) collecting money on behalf of people of color. To assume “they” need “our” management or supervision is another form of so-called white supremacy (sic).
