I feel that this could do a lot of good for the global community, as well as writers here in on Substack. The main issue is where that money goes, and the relationship between Substack and the broader creative community.
This put me off to this idea at first, but what if substack used such a fund to also create a micro-grant program where writers could peer review proposals from other writers advocating for certain causes, and receive some money at intervals for writing pieces about the cause. While it has potential, it would need to be managed collaboratively and competently for the good of all.
