A press release notes that the Palette Fund is a private foundation “dedicated to breaking down barriers and advancing social change in communities that are under-resourced and facing significant challenges.” This season marks the first time in franchise HERstory where the queens are competing for chari-tea and harnessing their drag skills to win money for a variety of organizations.
