Disability Law United has posted a note of appreciation about the auction on their social media accounts! (The screenshots above are from bluesky, post linked here; it's also on Facebook and Instagram.)

DLU is an incredible organization, but they're tiny -- and that means every single donation matters, for them and for the other amazing-but-tiny nonprofits on our list. (Which is all of them! FTH is committed to supporting small organizations, and this is why.)

For this event to work, we need organizations, programs, projects, campaigns, and fundraisers to send our donations to!

Check out the list we have compiled here! Read more bellow 👇

We are so excited to release our list of groups we are supporting with our first ever Fandom Does Tzedakah. You can take a look on tumblr or on dreamwidth.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate has been removed from our roster of supported organizations this year.

It has come to our attention that CCDH has been supporting efforts to repeal Section 230, a law that currently protects websites from being sued for posts made by individual users. The push to repeal it is frequently couched in appealing-sounding language—protect children, stop hate speech, etc.—when in reality, repealing it opens the door for aggressive censorship, denies access to important resources, and shreds some of the last vestiges of privacy we have left. You can read a more thorough breakdown of why Section 230 is important here.

But good news! To replace CCDH, we are tagging in an org we supported in 2025: Fight for the Future Education Fund. FFtF advocates for internet health and their project BadInternetBills is a very good resource for demystifying bad internet policies in the works. We rotated them out after they didn't get as much love as other orgs last year, but they are our saving grace for helping highlight the issues with CCDH before we directed donations their way. We're glad to have an excuse to add them back in, and we hope you'll be glad to see them too.

One more thing: we take it seriously that people rely on us to do good research here to help cut through the noise of deciding which orgs are worthwhile. Though we do the best we can, it's plenty possible for us to miss things, which is why we want you to also feel empowered to reach out to us if you have questions or concerns about an org we're supporting! If you believe we've missed something about an org that would put them in opposition to FTH's larger mission, please feel free to let us know so we can do our due diligence.

In this case, we flopped, but FFtF had the information we needed to catch our mistake in time. Here's to hoping we can give them their proper flowers this time around!

Creator signups for FTH2026 will open later today (January 26th), but for now we wanted to share a compilation of the detailed profiles we've written for each of this year's supported organizations. You can find the full list linked here; links to each individual detailed profile are below. (Also, here's a link to the full FTH 2026 calendar in case this crosses your dash after January 26th.)

As donation receipts started rolling in, we received an email from Wendy Via, co-founder and CEO of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, which we want to share with all of you:

Hello again Fandom Trumps Hate team! I’m writing to sincerely thank you for remembering us again this year. I can't tell you how much FTH's participation means to us and what a difference these gifts will make. And more important is the way your community stands even though the political climate makes it difficult. Please extend our appreciation to your community. It's hard to believe that this year is more challenging than last, but we haven't stopped. We're making progress against the anti-rights and anti-democracy actors. Thank you for spreading the word! Together, we'll make a difference.  With sincere gratitude and very best wishes for the future. Wendy

Wendy is a long-time organizer; she knows meaningful work when she sees it. All of us should be really proud of what we've accomplished together.

We're almost caught up processing all of the donations that have come in so far, and we wanted to give you all a snapshot of where those donations are going.

So far, the organizations drawing the most donations (given as percentage of total donations) are:

Middle East Children's Alliance, with 10.3%

the Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights, with 9.7%

the Freedom to Read Foundation, with 9.0%

and Sherlock's Homes, with 8.5%

The organizations with the fewest donations so far (again, given as percentage of the total) are:

Fight for the Future Education Fund, with 0.3%

TransQueerPueblo, with 0.6%

There are also several organizations in the 2-2.3% range, including Brave Space Alliance, Bellingcat, the Environmental Integrity Project, and the Congo Leadership Initiative.

While we believe deeply in the work being done by every single organization on our list, we hope you'll consider sending some love (in the form of donations) to the groups that have gotten less support so far.
