View submission: Announcing the Community Funds Program
Very cool.
With the ability to affect so many people, communities and causes, the criteria for considered projects seems vague.
In this post, for example, you show projects affecting science, history, art and foster care while also funding what appears to be a "we like you" sign to a boy band.
With so many do-good opportunities, will Reddit also be reserving a portion for "fun money?"

Glad u said "appears to be", because it's not just that. The way you try to contrast a "boy band" with all those other things is very discriminatory. The project was more about community and celebrating a one-of-kind fan+artists community, but also gave an opportunity for fans that are often denied voices in public spaces (fm people who think our voices are not impt enough, since it is just in support of a "boy-band") to advocate for our fav artist (not just a boy-band but one of the most talented ans ground breaking artists around) who is also often shut out by industry gatekeepers.
