Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo has announced a substantial donation of over $2 million from her Guts World Tour ticket sales to support women's and girls' causes worldwide. The funds, distributed through her Fund 4 Good organization, will benefit ten charities across different countries.
The 21-year-old singer's donation will support organizations focused on girls' education, reproductive rights, and preventing gender-based violence. Recipients include the National Network of Abortion Funds in the United States, Women's Shelters Canada, and various women's foundations across Asia and Australia.
During her eight-month tour spanning over 60 cities and 20 countries, Rodrigo made deliberate efforts to connect with local organizations in each region. A particularly memorable stop was her performance in the Philippines, where she celebrated her Filipino-American heritage while supporting local healthcare initiatives for women and girls through the organization Jhpiego.
"Being on tour after Roe v. Wade got overturned made activism very important — especially considering I performed in many states that currently have abortion bans in place," Rodrigo shared in her November cover story about the Guts trek.
The charitable initiative began in February 2024 when Rodrigo launched Fund 4 Good, dedicating a portion of tour proceeds to abortion funds and community-based nonprofits along her route. The organization aims to build an equitable future for women and girls through targeted support of local charities.
The Guts World Tour has seen remarkable success with 95 sold-out shows in 2024. The tour will conclude in 2025 with stadium performances in Brazil and Mexico, potentially creating more opportunities for charitable impact in these regions.
This generous donation represents a continued commitment from the "Vampire" singer to support women's causes and make a lasting impact in communities worldwide through her platform as a global artist.
