Overview
- The initiative debuted Oct. 23 with more than $400,000 raised from her Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things pop-up shows and related activations.
- $1 from each ticket on an eight-date run in New York, Los Angeles and Kansas City contributed to the fund, alongside partner efforts with Propeller and eBay and additional donations.
- Initial beneficiaries are six organizations: Ali Forney Center and The LGBT Center in New York City; Trans Wellness Center and TransLatin@ Coalition in Los Angeles; and The GLO Center and The Center Project in Missouri.
- Donations are accepted via a GiveButter page, and the project operates under fiscal sponsorship from the Catalyst Philanthropy Fund to enable tax-deductible gifts.
- Roan pledged to donate every dollar possible to the named groups after transaction fees and minimal management costs, extending her public advocacy into sustained, local giving.
