making Change Together
Here at Heaving Bosoms we believe in using our resources to fund positive change whenever possible. Our amazing and generous listeners have contributed to a variety of campaigns. And our current Read Black Romance campaign is raising money for Colors Of Change! Every cent of the sales of merchandise featuring our Read Black Romance logo will be donated to this amazing organization!
All Campaigns
Community Food Bank of New Jersey
(PAST)
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ), a member of Feeding America®, is the leading anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization in the state. What started as a modest enterprise in the back of our founder Kathleen DiChiara’s station wagon in downtown Newark in 1975, became an incorporated non-profit in 1982 and has grown to two warehouse facilities in Hillside and Egg Harbor Township, the combined size of five football fields. These locations serve area programs and community partners – over 800 in 15 of 21 New Jersey counties.
Yellowhammer Fund
(PAST)
Yellowhammer Fund envisions a society in which reproductive decisions are made free from coercion, shame, or state interference, a society in which individuals and communities have autonomy in making healthy choices regarding their bodies and their futures. YF commits themselves to community education and empowerment, policy advocacy, and the development of systems of mutual aid to ensure that their friends, families, and neighbors never go without the things they need.
Color Of Change
(PAST)
Color Of Change helps you do something real about injustice. They design campaigns powerful enough to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back, and champion solutions that move us all forward. Until justice is real. Donations can be made directly through the Color of Change site or by purchasing Heaving Bosoms’ Read Black Romance merchandise!
All Hearts and Hands Fund
(PAST)
All Hands and Hearts effectively and efficiently addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. We communicate directly with local leaders and community members and then deploy our unique model of engaging volunteers to enable direct impact, helping to build safer, more resilient schools, homes and infrastructure.
AAPI Women Lead
(PAST)
AAPI Women Lead and #ImReady Movement aims to strengthen the progressive political and social platforms of Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the US through the leadership of self-identified AAPI women and girls. Our goal is to challenge and help end the intersections of violence against and within our communities. We do this work in solidarity with other communities of color.
Quileute Move to Higher Ground Project
(PAST)
Our mission is to secure the future of the Quileute tribe by moving the at-risk community to the safe zone where their culture and heritage can continue to thrive for generations to come.
