The problem with comic donations: Do we *really* want to send thousands of copies of X-Force #1 to the children’s hospital?

The Hero Foundry only started in 2006. Given time, I think the organization has potential to grow into something vital for our industry.

I think those organizations add value in aggregating donations and the work of individuals. I don’t see the same level of value-add here.

I think I’d feel differently if this group did accept comic donations, since we know that there are people out there looking for something worthwhile to do with those discards. But since they’ve changed their focus to mostly monetary donations, I don’t see it.

“I’m still not sure what they’re accomplishing that can’t be done as well by individuals.”

Individuals are doing it, by donating their time money and comics to this organization.

Just like individuals are helping people via the Salvation Army, Red Cross, United Way etc…

Or do you feel the same way toward these organizations?
