Nonprofits to Donate to as an Adult Site Owner
The adult business, the sex work sector, and other specialized sex-based entertainment depend heavily on nonprofits. Unbelievably, the top organizations in the adult sector offer performers and business owners comprehensive services that cover a wide range of assistance categories.
These nonprofit organizations actively intersect with adult entertainment, online sex work, LGBTQ rights, and much more. They offer free and reduced mental health care as well as a unified voice on Capitol Hill. You ought to think about giving some of these nonprofits your support as an adult company owner, performer, or employee. It demonstrates to the public a highly active sense of corporate social responsibility and a dedication to promoting our industry member’s rights. Adult Business Consulting is excited to discuss some of the top charities serving the adult business in this blog article, encouraging you to donate and take advantage of their offerings.
Why Participate in Philanthropy?
According to the Harvard Business Review, corporate giving offers a significant competitive advantage. In a 2002 issue of the thought leadership journal, business professor Michael E. Porter and Harvard lecturer Mark R. Kramer wrote on this subject.
According to Porter and Kramer, “context-focused philanthropy does not just address a company’s self-interest, it benefits many through broad social change.” “After all, a company’s philanthropy would not be eligible as a charitable deduction and could endanger its reputation if it just served its own interests. In fact, as we’ve seen, a firm will contribute more to society the more tightly its philanthropy is tied to its competitive environment.” These suggestions in the adult entertainment sector highlight the advantages of contributing to the countless charity organizations that promote free speech and the adult industry charities.
What Sort of Charity Is Needed Among Professionals in the Adult Industry?
The Free Speech Coalition, a 501(c)6 membership organization, and numerous other 501(c)3 charities are charitable organizations that work in the adult entertainment sector. The development of performers’ well-being and general health is one of the recurring issues in the adult industry charity sector. Some of these charities have established solid reputations and track records for providing top-notch services at a reduced or no cost to performers and crew members. Support for performer testing is also included, as well as quick processing and delivery.
Charities in the Adult Industry
Professionals in adult entertainment are supported by a variety of organizations. Most of these organizations rely on donations from other businesses and individuals to carry out their missions. The breadth and focus of these organizations vary, but many of them have staff members who are incredibly skilled and well-versed in their fields. Many nonprofits in the adult sector are supported by Adult Business Consulting. Here are some fantastic charities that you can support.
Pineapple Support Society
A nonprofit group called The Pineapple Support Society offers comprehensive, round-the-clock online services, emotional support networking, and genuinely free and heavily discounted counseling from qualified, professional therapists. For performers and producers who have been engaged in the adult entertainment sector during the previous six months, they also offer industry-related guidance. All the licensed mental health professionals in Pineapple’s counseling network have been hand-selected for their understanding of sex workers’ rights, experiences with the adult industry, and general attitudes toward sexual positivity. We support the rights of sex workers by sponsoring Pineapple Support Society. Pineapple Support is grateful for the support of Adult Business Consulting.
Free Speech Coalition
As we’ve already mentioned, the official membership group for the adult entertainment sector is the Free Speech Coalition. It is a chamber of commerce organization with members from numerous industry verticals and structured as a conventional business alliance. The Free Speech Coalition describes itself as “a resource, a leader, and a tool for the communities that we serve.” According to the coalition’s official website, “We take pride in fighting to alleviate the social stigma, false information, and discriminatory policies that affect those who work in and adjacent to the adult industry.” Adult Business Consulting is a member of the Free Speech Coalition.
Sex Workers Outreach Project USA
Dedicated to defending the rights of those involved in the consensual and commercial sex trades as well as their communities, the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA (SWOP-USA) is a national social justice organization with a focus on ending violence and stigma through advocacy and education programs. Through technical aid, finance, direct support, and advocacy, SWOP says it “helps build stronger communities and a stronger movement at the national level.” We encourage you to support SWOP-USA’s important work.
Woodhull Freedom Foundation
A very active and powerful group is the Woodhull Freedom Foundation. The Woodhull Freedom Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, was established to give the cause of safeguarding sexual freedom and expression as a “fundamental human right” a credible, respectable face. A significant portion of Woodhull’s work is advocacy on behalf of persons who are persecuted because of their gender, sexual orientation, romantic preferences, and other characteristics. Woodhull is most known for their involvement in legal proceedings in federal courts challenging the body of rules and statutes officially known as FOSTA-SESTA, which severely weakened Section 230.
Sex Workers Project at the Urban Justice Center
Another nonprofit organization that seeks to support the rights of commercial and consensual sex workers and survivors of human trafficking is the Sex Workers Project at the Urban Justice Center. The Urban Justice Center is responsible for the Sex Workers Project. The Urban Justice Center is a nonprofit provider of legal services that advocates for social justice and civil liberties concerns as well as providing supporting legal help. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, a Democrat, is one of the lawmakers who has emerged from the Urban Justice Center.
The Cupcake Girls
Another NGO committed to assisting the sex business is The Cupcake Girls. To people involved in the sex industries, including all adult online jobs and pornographic production, they offer private support. Additionally, The Cupcake Girls has a strategy that is wholly based on “trauma-informed outreach, advocacy, holistic resources, and referral services for prevention and aftercare for those to be affected by sex trafficking.” Donations, like those made to many of the organizations on this list, do a lot to support people in the community and the sex industries. This organization receives free work from Adult B2B Marketing, a sister firm of Adult Business Consulting.
Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP)
An association of owners of adult entertainment websites, including businesses like XBIZ, MindGeek, and others, came together to form the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP), which has been around for several decades. By promoting self-regulation and reporting of CSAM/CSEM and other unlawful, exploitative content on their sites, ASACP is a very effective force for reform in the adult entertainment sector. The Restricted to Adults label, which enables parental filtering software and displays the adult industry’s commitment to assisting parents in preventing minors from accessing age-restricted content, was also developed, and is supported by the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection.
SW Mutual Aid Vegas
An organization called SWAID aids sex workers in the Las Vegas region. SWAID, also known as SW Mutual Aid Vegas, is a project started by sex workers to help other sex workers in need. SW Mutual Aid Vegas works covertly and secretly to raise money, distribute contraceptives and other harm-reduction tools, and supplies for sex workers in their neighborhood. Their charity does offer supplies like fentanyl test strips, Narcan, condoms, female condoms, clean needles, and Plan B pills. SWAID is there to help, should the need ever arise for any of that. Brazzers, ASN Lifestyle Magazine, YNOT, and YNOT CAM all provide support for SWAID.
