Comics’ Giving Heart—People, Projects In Need Of Funding

* with the focus paid the Hero Initiative in light of the success of the Avengers movie and an effort by some to send donations matching the price of a ticket that group's way, now might be a time to look at all the comics traditional charities and causes and consider a small donation. I always recommend the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund due to their track record. I'm sure there are any number of organizations that have made similar requests in light of that movie and the attention to charitable donations and I'm sure they're all worthy. No one group has contacted me directly, as far as I can tell.

* I always recommend the S. Clay Wilson Living Trust. I have no new news on Wilson -- a fact for which I'm grateful, to be honest with you -- but I can't imagine that the Trust couldn't use any funding a fan might be willing to send along.

* there's a bunch of stuff on Kickstarter right now that is funded more than 100 percent of its initial goal where people are still sending me press releases to increase the project's support. That's great, and I'm happy for them, but I'm going to assume that in most cases people are finding those projects without this site's help.

* there are a couple of high-profile Kickstarter projects with steep price points still seeking their initial funding: the Jenkins/Ramos Fairy Quest effort and the Reading With Pictures textbook project stand out a bit against what I'm sure are deserving others.

* finally, this is completely not comics, but a few of you out there might not find out any other way: my brother Whit Spurgeon has started fundraising for a second film project. Whit is this site's primary convention photographer, and overwhelmingly so in terms of this site's not-terrible convention photos.
