Actor and comedian Milana Vayntrub is making waves with a unique fundraising effort for families of color who were displaced by recent wildfires in Los Angeles. Rather than just starting a typical GoFundMe, she launched a platform called OnlyPhilanthropy. This clever spin on OnlyFans allows her to share playful photos in exchange for donations.
Vayntrub, who became well-known as the "AT&T girl" from commercials, is using this new platform to raise money for those affected by the devastating fires in Southern California. Her approach is unconventional: she offers “flirty” pictures for $69, promising that no one will spread the images online without consent. All proceeds go directly to supporting BIPOC families impacted by the fires. In just four days, she raised nearly $200,000.
“I’m excited to take male attention and turn it into resources for women in need,” Vayntrub stated. She believes this project isn’t just a fundraiser; it’s a way to challenge the traditional dynamics of financial power in online spaces.
Beyond helping families, Vayntrub hopes to inspire other celebrities and influencers to join her cause. Her own story adds depth to her mission; she was a refugee who fled antisemitism at age two and grew up in West Hollywood. In addition to her AT&T work, she has appeared in several popular shows like "This Is Us" and "Silicon Valley."
The response to her initiative has been largely positive, with many people applauding her creativity and message. Social media has seen a surge of support for Vayntrub’s efforts, highlighting a growing trend where influencers use their platforms for social good. People are increasingly inspired by such innovative approaches to philanthropy, showing that attention can indeed be converted into impactful change.
