We'll Match Your Donations, up to $1500. BLACK. LIVES. MATTER.

Pure Nowhere has put a temporary pause on all creative projects in order to focus on using our platform in solidarity with the black community. Starting today, June 1st, we will be matching any new donations to organizations supporting the Black Lives Matter movement — until we reach a total of $1,500, donated amongst various groups. 

Here’s how it works:

1) You pick the charity/organization. This can range anywhere from national aid to local bailout funds — suggestions below.

2) You pick the amount. Anything you are financially able to donate.

3) We’ll match it — the exact amount to the same charity/organization you chose. Just DM (@purenowhere) or EMAIL (hello@purenowhere.com) us a screenshot/receipt/proof of donation.

With this, we hope to push for new donations to continue to be made, and to emphasize that truly anything helps. While we are still amidst a global pandemic, not everyone is able to show up in person — but anyone can (and everyone should) support from afar.

This fight needs to be sustained by our resources, money and energy — today, and every day after.

We’ve included a list of charities/organizations below, with links to their donation portals, to make things as easy as possible on your end. With that said, your donation is (of course) not limited to those shown below — we encourage you to do your own research, and pick the one that resonates with you the most.

We’re lucky enough to have a platform and community as amazing as Pure Nowhere, which means we have a responsibility to use it. To speak up for those who can’t, and fill in the gaps mass media chooses to ignore. Please feel free to reach out to us with content you’d like to see published on the site. Anywhere you feel we are falling short, any information you’d like easily available — we are here.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

  • Official George Floyd Memorial Fund was established to “cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George. A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund.” Donate here.

They have closed their Frontline Fund due to an overwhelming number of donations, but are still taking donations through their Mutual Aid fund, which is used to continue to co-ordinate a response to Covid-19 in their community, where it is disproportionately impacting people of colour. Donate here.

  • Free Them All For Public Health is raising money for protesters arrested in New York via Venmo. Venmo @BailOutNYCMay. NOTE: A false Venmo @BailOutNYCMayH is circulating — report and avoid it.

PLEASE NOTE —

  • The Minnesota Feedom Fund has asked that all donations be directed elsewhere, due to the surge of support they have received in the past few days.

  • Please do NOT donate to any fundraisers associated with Shaun King. King has an extensive history of raising funds that later disappear.

  • Please do NOT donate directly to Change.org — the money will not go to the organizers of a petition.

IF THERE IS A CHARITY/FUND/ORGANIZATION WE SHOULD INCLUDE IN THE ABOVE LIST THAT WE HAVEN’T, EMAIL US AT HELLO@PURENOWHERE.COM AND WE’LL UPDATE ACCORDINGLY.

WITH LOVE & STRENGTH — PURE NOWHERE
