AAPI SOLIDARITY
Donation drive + Fanfiction Raffle
The AAPI Solidarity Event is a fandom fundraising raffle, run primarily by members of the Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed (CQL) fandom.
What You Do:
> Donate to a charity or mutual aid fund that benefits the AAPI community! (See our list above)
What You (might) Get:
> We will be raffling off pieces of custom fanfiction written by our talented creators!
The Goals:
> Encourage donations to AAPI charities and mutual aid groups
> Raise money to support the AAPI community, which has faced increased violence in the last year and a half.
> Use the power of Fandom to do good in the world!
The AAPI Solidarity Event is modeled on past successful fandom fundraising events like #WhatInDonationSeason3 and individual fundraising events held on Twitter.
Event Details

> Donate to one of our suggested AAPI charities or mutual aid funds during the raffle period (May 26th-June 9th, 2021).
> Go to This Google Form and answer a few quick questions to help us stay organized. The form will also ask for a screenshot of proof (with your personally identifying information erased/blacked out if you'd like!)
> If you have issues with the form, you can email [email protected] with your proof. (Make sure the donation date, organization you donated to, and amount of the donation are clearly visible!)
> Every $10 donated = one (1) raffle ticket (with no rounding up). For example: a $50 donation will net 5 tickets; a $25 donation will net 2 tickets.
> Tickets will be recorded by the event runners, and at the end of the raffle, winners will be chosen at random, based on ticket number!
