J. K. Rowling: Aware of the good fortune that led to her wealth and fame,[365] Rowling wanted to use her public image to help others despite her concerns about publicity and the press; she became, in the words of Smith, "emboldened ... to stand up and be counted on issues that were important to her".[366] Rowling's charitable donations before 2012 were estimated by Forbes at $160 million.[176] She was the second most generous UK donor in 2015 (following the singer Elton John), giving about $14 million.[367] Long interested in issues affecting women and children,[368] Rowling established the Volant Charitable Trust in 2000, named after her mother[369] to address social deprivation in at-risk women, children and youth.[370] She was appointed president of One Parent Families (now Gingerbread) in 2004,[371] after becoming its first ambassador in 2000.[369] She collaborated with Sarah Brown[372] on a book of children's stories to benefit One Parent Families.[369] Together with the MEP Emma Nicholson,[373] Rowling founded the charity now known as Lumos in 2005.[369] Lumos has worked with an orphanage west of Kyiv, Ukraine since 2013;[374][375] after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Rowling offered to personally match up to £1 million in donations to Lumos for Ukraine.[376] Later in 2022, during her advocacy against the proposed Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill,[377] Rowling stated she had founded and would fund Beira's Place, a women-centred rape help center to provide free support services for biological women[378] survivors of sexual violence.[368] She has donated several hundred thousand pounds to help women lawyers flee from the Taliban's control, helping hundreds of Afghans escape.[379] Rowling has made donations to support other medical causes. She named another institution after her mother in 2010, when she donated £10 million to found a multiple sclerosis research centre at the University of Edinburgh.[380] She gave an additional £15.3 million to the centre in 2019.[381] During the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, accompanied by an inflatable representation of Lord Voldemort,[382] she read from Peter Pan as part of a tribute to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.[383] To support COVID-19 relief, she donated six-figure sums to both Khalsa Aid and the British Asian Trust from royalties for The Ickabog.[215] Several publications in the Harry Potter universe have been sold for charitable purposes. Profits from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages, both published in 2001, went to Comic Relief.[369] To support Children's Voice, later renamed Lumos, Rowling sold a deluxe copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard at auction in 2007. Amazon's £1.95 million purchase set a record for a contemporary literary work and for children's literature.[384][385] Rowling published the book and, in 2013, donated the proceeds of nearly £19 million (then about $30 million) to Lumos.[386][387] Rowling and 12 other writers composed short pieces in 2008 to be sold to benefit Dyslexia Action and English PEN. Rowling's contribution was an 800-word Harry Potter prequel.[388][q] When the revelation that Rowling wrote The Cuckoo's Calling led to an increase in sales,[192] she donated the royalties to ABF The Soldiers' Charity (formerly the Army Benevolent Fund).[369][390]
