 Fun. Establishes The Ally Coalition 

 The Ally Coalition, known as TAC, was formed in 2012 by fun. members Andrew Dost, Nate Ruess and Jack Antonoff, along with Antonoff's fashion designer sister Rachel, to raise awareness and funds for LGBT equality. The focus has been primarily on fun.'s tours, including its 2013 summer headlining trek with Tegan & Sara, where the group educated music fans and created a safe space. The band also took $1 from each ticket sold and donated it to TAC along with money raised form specialty merchandise sales and donations. TAC has has donated to organizations including the Ruth Ellis Center in Detroit, the Oasis Center in Nashville and multiple campus based LGBT support groups.

 "It's really been about how to successfully get it to the places that need the money, how to successfully educate people on issues that they'll think about when they're voting and how they'll treat other people in the world," Antonoff said. -- Emily Zemler
