Three Potential Charitable Strategies As The Year Winds Down

While there are the usual funding requests out there for dream projects or as workarounds from artists and publishers on finding or borrowing or providing capital -- all of which I support -- there are three other things you might do with your money in a generous mood that were brought to our attention this holiday season.

1) The family of the artist Norm Breyfogle -- who enjoyed significant runs at DC Comics and with Archie -- put up this funding request when the artist suffered a debilitating stroke of the side of the body he uses to draw. They have gone past $50K, and I'm sure could put to use any small amount sent their way.

2) The established comics charities CBLDF and Hero Initiative I'm sure have multiple uses to which they could put necessary funding. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund in particular likely has some nice, end-of-year, tie-in offerings.

3) Kate Beaton reminded us in a post this week that there are a lot of artists out there like her that don't have formal campaigns to generate donations -- it might be something they're hesitant to do, or haven't done yet -- but that could use a kind word and a few dollars just the same.
