Martha's Vineyard Millionaires Launch GoFundMe Over 'Humanitarian Crisis'
Townhall ^ | 09/16/2022 | Mia Cathell

Posted on 09/16/2022 4:33:15 PM PDT by DFG

The ultra-wealthy elites of Martha's Vineyard launched a GoFundMe fundraiser over the island's "humanitarian crisis" of (*finger-counts*) 50 migrants sent ashore by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). That's right. The trust fund babies and Old Money socialites on Martha's Vineyard, a well-known magnet for millionaires, CEOs, and celebrities, were soliciting online donations from middle-class Americans on the crowdfunding platform.

As of Friday afternoon, the affluent community's "urgent plea" has raised over $42,000. The proceeds are benefiting the Martha's Vineyard Community Foundation (MVCF) whose mission includes putting "charitable contributions to work for the people of Martha's Vineyard by making grants that address community priorities" and "dispersing emergency response funding during extreme times of need." MVCF builds and invests its endowment to "provide continued resources for enhance[ing] and preserving the quality of life on the Vineyard."

Bet that not $1 goes to the illegal aliens. Except maybe to pay their transportation OUT.

“Raised over $42,000 so far”

Can’t they just get the maids to check the sofa cushions? That much change falls out of their pockets every day.

2021 Grants by Martha’s Vineyard Foundation

“This year’s grant recipients reflect a vibrant community that never stops caring and consistently rises to meet the needs of those who depend on them. In the 2021 competitive grant cycle, $228,500 was awarded to 27 nonprofits and organizations working across the Island in a myriad of sectors and specialties.

This year’s grants will be protecting beach-nesting birds, providing invaluable mentorship opportunities in ecologically-focused summer internships, helping young string players travel to perform on the Cape, enhancing afterschool programs, supporting Climate Action Week, supplying winter boots for 300 children, and truly so much more.

The proof of a community foundation is in the work of our esteemed partners. Here’s a closer look at just a few of the initiatives Islanders will be working on in the coming year with the support of these grants.”

That's a measly $840 each for 50 people.

Hotel rooms are $500 a night on the Island.

Shout out to Massachusetts and the people of Martha’s Vineyard for showing the world what the best of America looks like 🇺🇸

It’s unsurprising that they also send some of the best to Congress, like @ewarren, @EdMarkey, @AyannaPressley, @RepMcGovern, @RepKClark and so many more!— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) September 16, 2022

The rich, liberal “people of Martha’s Vineyard” DEPORTED THE ILLEGAL ALIENS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Glad to know that @aoc now tells us that’s “what the best of America looks like 🇺🇸”! https://t.co/DpzXp6TFUc— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 16, 2022

I guess the illegal miggies weren’t so welcome after all. They went to Martha’s Vineyard and didn’t even get to buy the T-shirt. All they got was a good old liberal Massachusetts Nantucket Bus Ride. LOL. I don’t think the Venezuelans would like MV anyway. They are trying to escape Socialism. I don’t think they’d appreciate being dropped in the middle of it here in America after that long walk.

Gov. Abbott, "I'm gonna bus all our illegals to blue sanctuary cities."

Gov. DeSantis, "I'm gonna ship 'em to Martha's Vineyard."

Gov. Abbott, "Well, I'm gonna send 'em straight to Kamala's house! You're up, Ron."

I love these guys!

They don’t need the money, they just deported them to middle class Cape Cod.

Super cool!! I just added the Martha’s Vineyard Community Foundation (MVCF) to my will under the section titled, “Under NO circumstances should any of my money or personal property be given to these organisations:”
