QSMP for Palestine was a charity auction, organized on the social media site Twitter, within the QSMP fandom to raise money for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, which was selected due to the ongoing Gaza Strip famine and humanitarian crisis as a result of the Israel-Hamas war. The project was launched on October 29, 2023 and lasted until November 8, 2023[1].
As part of this effort, artists of the community (in particular, members of the visual fanart, digital edit, and fanfiction sub-communities), put up their labour as an incentive for donations. In this case, meaning that donors to the campaign would receive, varying in complexity according to the size of their donation, a piece of art they requested from one of the artists volunteering their labour for the charitable event. The project has raised $3,956 for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.
These collective efforts were at least partially inspired by the #Particles4Palestine event[1], also a fundraiser for the PCRF, endorsed by the Twitch streamer Ranboo and organized on Twitter by the members of his fan community, the Boobers[2].

We, as your community, call on you to show your support for this humanitarian cause. The donations will be going to Palestine Children's Relief Fund, which provides access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare for Palestinian children. The QSMP is a server meant to build unity between different cultural communities and promote diversity and inclusivity, and we have seen its positive effects across multiple communities here on Twitter. We believe that seeing the cc's themselves contribute to this cause would genuinely help bring that message alive, not to mention the concrete, positive real life impact it would have in the face of the tragedy and horror unfolding in Gaza and Palestine today.[3]

A reminder that #QSMPFORPALESTINE is still going! All funds go to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, which is especially important as over half of those in Gaza are children. I just made a donation, I encourage you to do the same![4]
