Cavetown has announced a new foundation called This Is Home Project, which aims to empower and support LGBTQ+ youth via donations to various queer-led organisations.
A minimum of $1 million will be donated over the next three years. The following five charities have already been selected for donations: Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project (BLMP), True Colors United, Trans Lifeline, Black Trans Femmes in the Arts, and Stonewall.
In a statement, Cavetown said he “wanted to create a way to better support young LGBTQ+ people who are in need of financial help and resources, both on an individual and community-wide scale.” “I’m also aiming to bring more funding to foundations whose sole focus is providing access to LGBTQ+ youth for physical and mental healthcare, safe housing, and a whole bunch more,” he added, before directing fans to tihp.cave.town for more information.
The star accompanied the announcement with frog, the third single from his upcoming album worm food. The music video sees Cavetown and his woodland instrument band playing in a mossy forest.
