Tom 14013 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Hi everyone! Myself and the team would like extend our gratitude to everyone who keeps the board running, not only members but our Patreon members who help fund the board. Much like the custodians before us we run Toontastic as a none profit organisation. We're a wonderful community, we've been around for nearly two decades and it's a project I'm privileged & proud to be part of. I'm sure the rest of the dictatorship will agree! Earlier in the year we donated a significant amount of surplus Patreon funds to both Red Cross Ukraine & Red Cross Yemen. This slightly deviated from our original plan to have an annual vote on a charity to send the funds to but needs must! So In the spirit of the original Patreon idea, could people please suggest charities that they would like to receive the surplus funds? PS - You don't have to be a Patreon member to suggest a charity, only to vote. In a few weeks time this will go to a vote for Patreon members, you'll receive a message on the Patreon website and be able to proceed from there. If you aren't a Patreon member it's not too late - visit the link below. The money goes to a good cause - not just storing @Monkeys Fist porn collection on the server! Thanks Everyone, Tom Patreon > https://www.patreon.com/ToontasticNet Nominations - Newcastle West/East End Foodbank Cancer Research Sir Bobby Robson/Daft as a brush 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43059 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Saucy! Now, more than ever, our friends, neighbours and colleagues are more likely to find themselves using food banks. It’s not a particularly innovative suggestion from me, but it’s desperately needed, so I’d suggest The West End Food Bank, which has now taken over the East End Food Bank and provides much needed food and hygiene items across the city. (What a fucking disgrace that we need to do this, btw, Britain in 2022). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 43059 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 How about we split 50/50 on top two placing suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4855 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I prefer the idea of a single donation to a smaller local charity myself, I feel like it makes more difference. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 45997 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I was gonna say the local food banks, but in the interests of alternative options what about the SBR daft as a brush thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14013 Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Ok last call for Patreons to nominate. After this there will be a Patreon poll to decide the final charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Ok - It's a straight up Vote between the following charities. Newcastle West/East End Foodbank Cancer Research Sir Bobby Robson/Daft as a brush The vote will take place on Patreon. At some point you'll receive an email directing you to the website and allowing you to vote in the poll. Probably when @andrew gets out of bed. We'll be able to confirm the overall amount etc and will try and organise the donation so it qualifies for Gift Aid 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
