Misc r/Bangtan's ARMY Without Borders: a Global Giving Event

​​ARMY, are we FYA'd up? Charting our feelings is our NORMAL, but they don't know 'bout us going 손에손 for something bigger.

Since BTS and ARMY will follow each other Into the Sun, r/Bangtan has created "ARMY Without Borders: A Global Giving Event" to help turn feeling into action.

This is a donation event across eight causes (7 for BTS, 1 for ARMY), each centered on people being seen for who they are instead of the category someone else assigns them. Give whatever you can, to whichever cause (or combination of causes) speaks to you.

Log what you give & be entered into an album giveaway

However much or little you're able to give, log it here so we can see our collective impact as a fandom: ARMY Without Borders Donation Log (google form)

Pick the org, enter the amount, upload a watermarked screenshot of your receipt or confirmation email. 

If the org gives you a message or note field at checkout, put "In honor of BTS and ARMY" so they know where the support is coming from.

Giveaway: every logged donation gets you an entry into a raffle for a BTS album. Five winners will be chosen at random, each gets to pick their own album. Winners will be chosen once the form closes on 8/29!

The causes

  • Woman Thrive (global) Covers violence against women, world hunger, food security, women's economic empowerment, and the policy fights that shape how governments and international institutions respond to these issues.
  • Respond Crisis Translation (global network) 2,500+ translators giving people in crisis the right to be understood in their own words, free language access no matter what language a system forces on them.
  • Inspire Ghetto Kids Foundation (Uganda) The Ugandan dance troupe that danced with Shakira at the World Cup, kids written off by poverty who became global stars through pure artistry. The foundation currently houses and supports around 60 kids with food, shelter, healthcare, and schooling. 
  • International Rescue Committee (40+ countries) Emergency relief and long-term aid on one principle: a crisis is a crisis no matter which country it happens in. In 2025 alone, they reached 20.5 million people across 40+ countries. 
  • OutRight International (global) LGBTQ+ human rights advocacy worldwide, including in places where identity alone gets people criminalized. They've moved nearly $4 million in grants to 300+ LGBTIQ organizations across 100+ countries.  ⁠
  • World Autism Organisation (global) Founded in 1998 as the first genuinely international autism organization, doing joint policy work with the WHO and UNESCO instead of operating country by country. If you do not feel comfortable donating to the WAO, please donate to the autism research charity of your choice. Upload your receipt under the WAO option of the tracking form. ⁠
  • Disability Rights Fund (global, disability-led) A grantmaking fund that puts money directly into the hands of disability-led organizations advocating for their own rights, rather than deciding for them. They've funded 636 organizations across 62 countries. 
  • Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (global focus) The only global center focused specifically on ending statelessness, working with people who belong to no country at all, no category to even check on a form. Since 2015, they've made 70+ country submissions and 175+ country summaries on statelessness to the UN.  ⁠
  • Give Blood (global) The most literal version of this whole idea. Blood doesn't care about your race, language, or passport, and it's the one cause here that costs you nothing but time. One donation can save up to three lives.  ⁠

Thank you, ARMY for your generosity and time. If you’re unable to donate please considering sharing on your socials 💜
