A furry art event raising money for LGBTQ+ charities!

What is Pride & Kindness?

Pride & Kindness is an annual online event where furry artists from around the world come together to raise money for LGBTQ+ charities. Everyone who donates is guaranteed to receive art. All people working on the event are volunteers, and all money raised during the event gets donated to charity.

Pride & Kindness started in 2021 as an initiative by three furry artist friends. They had the idea to take small donations and draw a gift for every donor. Knowing they wanted to do more than what the three of them could do alone, they recruited other artists to help. Over 60 small furry artist volunteered to help make art for hundreds of donors, raising over $4000 USD for charities during the first run of the event.

Charities we are supporting this year: Miłość Nie Wyklucza and Queer Svit

2021 - 2023


Miłość Nie Wyklucza (MNW, or "Love Does Not Exclude") is a Polish organization that fights for LGBTQ+ equality. MNW strives to create safe spaces for queer people in Poland to express themselves. They lead marches, advocate for societal change through education, help draft laws, and provide legal assistance to LGBTQ+ individuals living in Poland. We are proud that this will be our fourth year supporting them.


2024


Queer Svit is a team of volunteers that formed in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. They help LGBTQ+ individuals (especially black, Asian, and other ethnic minorities) living in Eastern Europe and Central Asia relocate to safety. This includes one of our Pride & Kindness volunteers, who Queer Svit helped escape homophobic and transphobic laws in Russia.
