Any fannish fundraisers for the Texas disaster?

Some years ago, when there was a natural disaster or the like, various corners of fandom would organize fundraisers in which people with more time and talent than money would create a new fannish work in "exchange" for a donation to the cause by someone else, often in auction format.

Have you seen any of those for the flooding in Texas?

I have no time recently, but I do have the wherewithal to donate just now, and I haven't yet donated to a charity for this disaster, so I thought that I might join forces with someone and sponsor a fanwork as well and direct my donation to that person's preferred charity, if that sort of thing is still done...?

I saw a link to one that's going on here. I don't know how active it is.

I saw this link recently on my flist and thought I'd share:

It's not the traditional gift exchange for donation, but I am told that it was started in the Destiel/Supernatural fandom, and seems to be doing quite well in terms of fundraising.
