Welcome to "Grobanites for Charity" (GFC)!

We are a dedicated group of volunteers who have banded together with thousands of Josh Groban fans all over the world to support a variety of charitable causes. Our main focus is to raise money for The Josh Groban Foundation, which supports children in need around the world through contributions to the arts, education and healthcare. Josh's fans have already raised over $700,000 for his Foundation through on-line auctions, donations and fundraisers at fan gatherings.

GFC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which is run by volunteers. All of our operating costs are donated by GFC supporters so that 100% of your donations (beyond the costs of the on-line transaction fees and merchandise costs) go directly to the charities we support.

GFA (Grobanites for Africa) is a sub-team within GFC that focuses specifically on projects for Africa. You can visit the GFA website at www.grobanitesforafrica.org.

Tender Totes and Heavenly Dreams is a sub-team within GFC that makes Totes, Pillowcases, Dolls and Beanies for Shriner and Children's hospitals. For more information on these projects, go to www.tendertotes.org.

Josh and his family are very appreciative of all that the fans are doing for charity. You can read messages from Josh and his family by going here:
