Fandom Fundraising Activities

Copying from leiyah_chan's blog, here are the list of places where we can send our help or participate in helping with Japan's situation.

~~~ FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES ~~~

Fundraising for Japan (arashi_on )
FAQ:
Inline with their success with the Haiti earthquake fundraising, arashi_on once again initiated a fundraising activity for Japan earthquake victims. As of March 20, the group was able to raise $17,822. The activity works like a bazaar or marketplace where fans can offer up or "sell" their SERVICES (graphics, translations, subs, etc.) for small amounts. All proceeds will then go into one account (e.g. Red Cross) as donation. JE fans are encouraged to join

Fundraising Garage Sale (arashi_on )
FAQ:
Along with the main fundraising activity as stated above, arashi_on initiated yet another fundraising activity by asking fans to sell off their items or goods for a garage sale. Again, this fundraising activity focuses on selling ITEMS / GOODS and not SERVICES.

Inori: Ongaku Society Gives Back
A J-rock/J-pop benefit gig for the disaster relief operations in the Tohoku and Kanto regions of Japan. Inori means “a prayer” in Japanese. All proceeds will go to Japan (through Japan Red Cross via Global Giving).
Event will be held on April 2, 2011 from 6PM to 2AM of the following day at Androsia, 58B Timog Avenue (beside The Imperial Palace Hotel), South Triangle, Quezon City.

Using credit card reward points as donation (tangiblewhimsy )
This is actually a very useful post shared by tangiblewhimsy . Instead of using money to donate, you can use your credit card reward points as donation. Capital One and American Express are actually giving out this option for their card users.

JE Family Fundraising
FAQ:
A joint community of the various JE fandoms that aims to help Japan through this fundraising project. Various auctions are held in this group to help generate funds for the project.

HELP JAPAN
The group was created March 11 to raise funds in helping Japan. This is a multi-fandom, multi-media auction group which aims on ONLY one thing: Helping Japan. The group offers SERVICES and ITEMS for interested participants to check out.

Arashians for Quake Relief / AQR
We all know for a fact that SUBS are one of the most essential "necessity" when it comes to fandom. This group is using this simply stated fact to help out Japan. This is a group of Arashian communities which collaborate for one special project. They release subs PUBLICLY in exchange for donations. Kudos to this team! <3

~~~ SUPPORT ACTIVITIES ~~~

FAITO 皆さん！がんばっれ日本！
A Facebook page made by fans to collect various support messages for Japan earthquake victims.

Japan, Please Smile Again (Cool & Soul: fifth region, Chile Arashi fanbase)
Japan, Smile Again Blogspot
It is said that in Japan, for one's wish to be fulfilled, one has to fold a thousand paper cranes. This support group aims to do just that. "Cool @ Soul" asks fellow fans to fold paper cranes (origami), take a picture of it and send the photo to them via email.

Ganbare Nippon Project
"Ganbare Nippon Project" is a support group which aims to create a MV of fans holding a "GANBARE" photo. All you have to do is download and print their specially made graphic and take a photo of yourself (or with fans) with the graphic hiding your face (like, place it in front or over your face). You can be creative with the shot.
