Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health nonprofit, is pleased to welcome YouPay and MintStars as supporters. As a key initiative for their recently announced collaboration partnership, YouPay, the professional gifting platform for professional creators, and MintStars an innovative content platform that helps creators and fans earn more with lower censorship, have initiated a charity sponsorship with Pineapple Support.

“Combining our collective user bases to support a charity that helps creators was our first priority when we set out to collaborate with YouPay. As brands with a shared mission to support adult content creators, it’s important to us to put our money where our mouth is” said Jessica Van Meir, Co-founder and COO of MintStars.

“Adult content creators represent a key segment for YouPay and collaborating with MintStars to support Pineapple Support is the perfect opportunity for us and our users to give back and contribute to a positive impact for the adult content creator community” said Matt Holme, Co-founder and CEO of YouPay.

Pineapple Support was founded by performer Leya Tanit in 2018, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has connected over 14,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support.

“We’re excited and grateful to be working with YouPay and MintStars to increase awareness of the services that Pineapple Support provides adult performers as well as their commitment to supporting our services” said Tanit.

To kick-off their support, MintStars and YouPay will jointly run a fundraising campaign across their platforms through the month of July with all funds raised to be provided to Pineapple Support.
