Overview
- Vayntrub said this week her fundraising experiment surpassed the half‑million‑dollar mark for Los Angeles wildfire survivors.
- The first drive raised about $170,000 in four days for Bridget Bradley’s GoFundMe, helping cover housing, medical needs, and transportation.
- A second campaign brought roughly $350,000 in a week to Altadena nonprofit My Tribe Rise, which distributed the money as direct grants.
- Only Philanthropy uses tiered donations, email‑watermarked images, a strict no‑nudity policy, and a $1,000 tier with a chance at a signed Polaroid.
- Across the two campaigns, about 3,500 donors gave an average of $120, and Vayntrub says she will expand the model to enlist other creators and new causes.
