Unity C-ville is a group committed to an inclusive, hate-free Charlottesville. According to a GoFundMe page created August 12, 2017, "Unity C-ville is a group of Charlottesville community members raising funds to help support the victims and affected communities of the August 12th terrorist attack and Alt-Right demonstration events in Charlottesville, Virginia. In addition to the many injured, peaceful protestor Heather Heyer and two Virginia State Troopers also gave their lives in a helicopter crash while on duty protecting our community. Charlottesville is by and large a peaceful and diverse town that suffered a visit from out of town violent Nazis, white supremacists, and racists. We want to help in any way we can. Please share and consider giving. All funds will be transferred to the City of Charlottesville or an appropriate body once collected. Thoughts are with the families at this difficult time. #unitycville"[1] According to this GoFundMe website: as of December 29, 2018, $175,555 of $50,000 goal was donated by 3,332 people in 16 months - the last donation was made 15 months ago and as posted "No Longer Accepting Donations."
