“I’m so grateful to have my wonderful, peaceful life w/my daughter Katherine,” the tweet reads. “How lucky am I to turn 40? I would love to express my gratitude by donating $1000 to 40 different charitable orgs that help others.”

To kick things off, Kaling donated $1000 to refugee and immigrant services nonprofit RAICES Texas. Fans have taken to Kaling’s social media accounts to offer suggestions of where the rest of her funds could go.




Wish more celebs would do stuff like this and use their platform, resources, clout, etc. to help make a difference in lieu of “peaceful protests.”

But did she stop having sex to protest abortions?

Based off of her first donation, I'm going to guess that her next 39 donations will be to organizations I do not support.

I mean it's cool but having to brag about it suggest it is as much a publicity stunt as anything actually caring about the charities.

Who gives a shite if she let's people know she's doing it? That's often how you get other people to do the same thing.

If it means $40,000 to charity, I'm ok with it.

The money spends the same regardless of why it was given.

Mindy Kaling has never been to a border town and will likely never visit a border town.

The most time shes ever spent in Mexico was probably on a 5 star resort.

If by posting it, it makes another person or celebrity do something similar, and starts a domino effect, then by all means post away. There are far many who are posting that no charity will get any benefit or will spark anything positive. Who cares, good for her.

Reminds me of the episode of Curb Your Enthusiam when Larry and Ted Danson both anonomously donated large amounts to the Art Center (I think) and Ted let everyone know it was him and it pissed Larry off.

Everyone was thanking Ted for his donation and Larry got no recognition.

Great episode.

I'll never understand how this little piglet has a career in TV or other visual media.

She has never admitted who the baby's father is. Inquiring minds want to know.
