They’re a diverse group. One organization wants to erect a tombstone on the Baltimore grave of Chubby of the “Our Gang” comedies. A well-established website wants to keep promoting the city’s expanding arts community. And a Baltimore artist is looking for a little help to launch a skateboard illustration company.

These three appeals are among the most intriguing ongoing Baltimore-related fund-raising campaigns we found on Indiegogo, a San Francisco-based crowd-funding site.

What Weekly offers stunning graphics, finds cool new artists and musicians and publishes one of the best online calendars of city arts and cultural events that we’ve seen. It has cultivated close ties with the Baltimore arts community, and has raised about $4,010 of its $10,000 goal as of this morning.

Part of its appeal is a snappy DIY film noir starring the site’s Justin Allen and Brooke Hall that can be seen here.

Another notable Indiego project with a strong local connection is a drive by film fans to erect a monument at the unmarked Baltimore grave of Norman Chaney, who played Chubby in the Our Gang comedies.

Chaney died in 1936 at the age of 21 after returning from Hollywood to his native Baltimore, the website Find a Grave reports, after treatment at Johns Hopkins for an illness that sent his weight plummeting from 300 pounds to 136 pounds pounds at the time of his death.

He was buried in an unmarked grave in The Baltimore Cemetery at 2500 East North Avenue, alongside his mother.

The “Norman ‘Chubby’ Chaney Of the Little Rascals Needs a Headstone!” group is trying to raise about $8,400 for two memorials, one for Chaney and another for his mother, who is buried next to him.

“Chubby has entertained and made literally millions of people laugh for more than 80 years,” the appeal says. “Now it’s our turn to give back and give him the memorial that he deserves.” As of Monday morning, they’d raised about $1,900 with a month to go.

Graduating senior Matt Carignan of the Maryland Institute College of Art is trying to raise $3,500 over the next two months to expand his student business, Scramble Skateboards, into a full-scale operation.

His illustrated skateboards became his senior show at MICA and he hopes to raise enough money to print designs on 200 boards for sale through selected outlets.

Carignan has promised to donate a portion of his profits toward groups promoting skateboarding, including the Skatepark of Baltimore fund and Grind for Life fund, which raises money for cancer patients through skateboarding events.
