The now-annual Reprobate guide to the nude fundraisers for the coming year.
In what is now seemingly an annual Reprobate tradition, we’ve been scouring the internet for naked charity calendars – the good, the bad and the eccentric, all featuring exhibitionists (of a sort) looking to raise money for charity (mostly cancer charities – there’s definitely a hierarchy when it comes to ‘worthy causes’).
The Naked Charity Calendar seems something immune to moral changes – though notably, some charities have refused to accept money from these calendars, especially those featuring more professional glamour models. As ever, we would suggest that if a charity can afford to turn down donations out of sniffy morality, then they probably don’t need your money and you should direct your support elsewhere.
As ever, these calendars feature men and women of all ages and sizes – they are nothing if not diverse in their content. Clearly, the intention with most is not to be erotic – in fact, it’s the absolute lack of any hint of sexuality that makes these socially acceptable with people who might otherwise tut with disapproval at people undressing in public.
Obviously, this selection – as extensive as it is – is probably just the tip of the iceberg. We will, of course, add in any more that come our way before the start of 2022 – feel free to forward details if you discover/create something not included here.

Not exactly nude, but clearly designed to appeal to the Mills & Boon reader. This comes in three variations, hedging bets by offering versions that also feature cuddly animals and a ‘firefighter and cat’ combo. https://www.australianfirefighterscalendar.com/
The Cambridge Blues Calendar
Something of an annual tradition, this, with the sporty students of Cambridge stripping off to raise money for Jimmy’s Cambridge, Teenage Cancer Trust, Student Minds and Rainforest Trust.

The Texas Cavers Calendar
Seemingly a bit more upfront with actual nudity than most calendars of this sort, the Texas Cavers calendar raises money for the Texas Cave Management Association.

Sitting somewhere between the amateur fundraiser and the professional glamour calendar, this one – though as it is still raising money for charity, we’ll give it a pass and include it here.
