Current Campaign
One In An ARMY is proud to announce our second September 2022 flash donation campaign, Reconnect With RM, in support of the Suku Mentawai Cultural Education Foundation of Namjoon's birthday! Donations will support the Mentawai indigenous community in re-establishing connection with their Mentawai cultural and ecological education. The donation period officially began at 11:00 pm KST on September 7th, 2022. Everything listed in steps 3-5 under our individual giving instructions is optional, but extremely helpful for us to track donation amounts as we have no other way to see how much ARMY has donated (see our FAQ for a full explanation). Our hashtag for the campaign is #ReconnectWithRM. The minimum donation amount $1.00 USD.
How To Donate
Step 1) Visit One In An ARMY's custom ARMY donation page.
Step 2) Donate at least $1.00 USD.
Step 3) Take a screenshot of your donation watermark with your twitter @. Please make sure donation amount is VISIBLE but strike out any personal information (see example screenshot below).
Step 4) Submit this form. The form is especially important now. Due to COVID-19 many non-profits are overwhelmed and might not be able to track donations for us like they normally do.
Step 5) Quote-tweet our pinned tweet or write your own tweet about the campaign using #ReconnectWithRM. Don't forget to check out the non-monetary Bonus Mission TBA!
