OFMD (and friends) Craft Fair!

Hello friends!Looking for information about the #OFMDCraftFair? You're in the right place!The auction's done, but you can still see all the amazing crafts!#OFMDCraftFair was a fundraiser for the Campaign for Southern Equality's Trans Youth Emergency Fund. From Feb. 18-March 9, 2025, we raised over $95,000 for trans kids in the South through our auctions—and additional donations have brought us over $105,000!The fundraiser is over, but you can still donate via this form!Loved something in the auction and want to find the maker?

FAQs:Who ran this thing?Lis/ghostalservice is behind this, with an incredibly amazing background team of veeagainst, adhduck, xoxoemynn, stedezissou, and archem! We collectively put over a thousand hours of work into this project!Why the Campaign for Southern Equality?We love their work because they focus specifically on queer folks who have to fight against the structures of the areas they’re in—and because their work stretches across all levels of activism, from advocacy at a policy level down to grants to individual trans kids and their families.How were shipping costs handled?Lis is happy to take donations to the shipping fund via ko-fi—most item donors will cover reasonable shipping costs to buyers, but any international shipping or expensive shipping (over $15, or folks with special circumstances) we will split the shipping fund for reimbursement. Also, for folks donating multiple items, they have the option to ship to Lis instead and she’ll send them out! Especially for folks buying multiple items, this should help reduce costs.If buyers want to help cover shipping costs, we will remind them about the shipping fund after the auctions close, or they can reach out to the folks who donated their items directly!When's the next one?Whenever someone else decides to organize one—this team needs a few years (decades?) of rest!Can I still donate items?Sorry, the Craft Fair is definitely over—but you can still donate to the organization or offer your own items in exchange for donations!
