In 2012, King and web designer Chad Kellough founded HopeMob.org, a charity site that used voting to select a particular person’s story and then raise money for that story until its goal was met. The money went to an organization which provided for the person’s needs, not to the person individually. After one goal was met, the next story in line would then get funds raised. HopeMob initially raised funds to build their platform in January 2012 on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter. Their campaign raised about $125,000.
King has raised money for multiple causes including the Tamir Rice shooting, and various incidents where the Black Lives Matter movement has been involved. Through the fund-raising website, YouCaring.com, King raised $60,000 for Rice’s family. Rice, a 12-year-old resident of Cleveland, Ohio, was killed in 2014 by two Cleveland city policemen after they responded to a complaint “of a male black sitting on a swing and pointing a gun at people.”
