Hello from the “Rhythm Generation” Zine Crew with an update on donations!

As previously mentioned and noted in the FAQ, the final zine project is FREE OF CHARGE.  However, the contributors have put our brains together and have come up with a list of six organizations which we’d like to send some love. Although completely voluntary, it would mean a lot to us if you would consider donating to their causes.

The six organizations we selected as a team are as follows: 

Children of War Foundation (mission || donate)

Child Soldiers International (mission || donate)

Disabled American Veterans (mission || donate)

International Committee of the Red Cross (mission || donate)

International Peace Institute (mission || donate)

UNICEF (mission || donate)

Applications are officially CLOSED and we are GO FOR LAUNCH!  Contributors are as follows!  Give them some love and encouragement!

We will be making another announcement in the coming weeks about donations. As a reminder, the zine project itself is FREE, but the creative team would like to encourage folks to consider donating to a good cause.  Donations are completely voluntary and are not required to receive a copy of the final product.

Hi Nony!  Thanks for reaching out.  We have some info on this over on our FAQ page, but to sum up for you and others: 

(1) There are no profits generated from this project. This will be a FREE endeavor. 

(2) The mod team has asked contributors to help us brainstorm possible non-profit organizations that have a thematic linkage as part of the application process.  We plan to provide a link back to one or more of these organizations when we roll out the contributor team at the end of the month so that people can donate as they want / can.

(3) Donations are entirely voluntary and are only a suggestion.  Think of it as a, “If you like what you see, consider sending these other guys over here some love because they do good work and mean a lot to the folks who are participating in this project.”
