Books That Give Back
I thought I’d keep up a list of anthologies that support various charities. Please do make recommendations in the comments but make sure to verify your rec does indeed support a charity!

I love this idea!! I didn't even realize this was a thing. What a great way to bring attention to it :)
Thank you so much. :) The books I've already got on here are benefiting some great causes (if you can't find the info on the PB description, just ask- I'm happy to tell you) and so the more eyes I can get on them, I'm all for it. If you ever come across a book that belongs here, don't hesitate to come back and comment again!
How do you find books that do this? I'd love to know what to look for in the future
Mostly from being active in the indie horror community on Instagram. I've seen a fair amount community activism in that space, especially in the queer indie space. Boy Meat, I saw the submission call/ crowdfunding posts. I just happened across Mine in an indie bookstore and bought it. Your Body is Not Your Body was in someone's recommendation post. . . probably during the Trans Rights Readathon one year. The other three I actually submitted to myself.
I remember there having been at least one feminine rage anthology that came out last year with proceeds benefiting reproductive rights but I can't for the life of me remember the name. I have to go do some digging and see if I can't find the organizer's profile again.
