Hola, crew! As you might remember, our Save OFMD digital advertising van overheated halfway through its stint near Apple’s London HQ last month. Since a refund was not possible, we were owed an additional half-day with the trucks.

A graphic showing the charity donations of Save OFMD with the leftover funds from the London Ad Campaign. Long Description in the replies.
🧵 Salutations, sailors! We can officially reveal our final charity donation amounts post-London Ad Campaign... 🥁🐙

The results from the survey on the final stage of our London Ads campaign are in. Almost 94% voted to split the remaining funds between the three billboard fundraiser charities: Mermaids UK, Rainbow Youth (Aotearoa New Zealand), and Point Foundation (US). As the purpose of the remaining funds has changed, we need to make sure we stay compliant with the UK’s regulatory body. We have been consulting with the Fundraising Regulator, the independent organisation that sets the Code of Fundraising Practice in the UK. They have directed our next steps, and we must contact all donors to inform them of the result of the survey and the change in purpose of their donations. Donors must be offered an adequate opportunity to request a proportionate refund. As 81% of the donations have been used for the original purpose, refunds will be 19% of the initial donation amounts received after fees, rounded to the nearest penny. We will contact donors in the next few days.
Once donors have been contacted, they will have one week to request a refund. Once this timeframe is over, and any refund requests have been processed, our final total will be split between the three charities chosen by the Save OFMD community. Your support will help some wonderful LGBTQIA+ charities, and you should be extremely proud of that. These funds are more important than ever, for charities that are more important than ever. They'll never forget the eccentric Pirate Bonnet and his passionate, loving, generous pirate horde!
Screen shot of a chart titled 'What would you like us to do with the remaining funds from the London Billboard fundraiser?' The option to book one day of digital adverts in a London Underground station received 6.41% of the votes. The option to donate equally to our chosen charities, Mermaids UK, Rainbow Youth (Aotearoa New Zealand), and Point Foundation (US) received 93.59% of the votes.

Thank you to all our donors who made this possible, and all the donors who voted to make their voices heard. None of this would be possible without you! 🐙🦄💓

An image of Save O.F.M.D.'s mascot Jeff the Kraken, holding several armfuls of flowers with a heart above one of his tentacles. He is purple with big soft eyes, and the flowers are red, yellow, purple, pink, green and blue.
It's turned into something beautiful, something powerful. We will always have each other, our community to belong to.
We are in this together, crew. After all, it's about belonging to something! 🦄
#LongLiveOFMD #BeABillboard
This is a perfect opportunity to come together & celebrate OFMD. What's more, we want to show everyone we are here to stay & will never stop fighting for marginalised stories.
This fandom built itself through word of mouth, passionate recommendations & pure will.
#BeABillboard #OurFlagBBC
The billboard is booked and paid for already. It was, and remains, a great way to shout our love from the rooftops.
We are considering the possibility of changing the design for the 18th & 19th, so keep an eye out for more information.
#BeABillboard #SaveOFMD
Following David's announcement, we've been getting a lot of questions about the plans for the billboard & the meet-up.
The short answer is: Our plans to meet at the Vue Cinema in Leicester Sq on 11 March at 6pm have not changed, & the billboard ad will run as planned.
#LongLiveOFMD #BeABillboard
SaveOFMD is proud to present: La Vue en Rose! 😍🌹
Our billboard goes live on the 11th of March. In honour of the occasion @ferventrabbit and @giulianaazr have joined forces to create this sweet, funny and informative video! 🏴☠️🐙💕
