Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Raises $20 Million and Counting for Women and Girls Charities

Beyond bringing together some of music’s finest female acts for a day of music, Olivia Rodrigo created Daisy Chain Fields to raise money for charities supporting women and girls in the US and around the world. As part of that mission, the Daisy Chain performers waived their fees, allowing 100% of the festival’s $10 million in net proceeds to support its nonprofit partners. Additionally, just before Rodrigo’s headlining set, Melinda French Gates announced that she would match Daisy Chain Fields’ donation with a $10 million commitment of her own, bringing the total raised to $20 million and counting. “Daisy Chain Fields was created to celebrate the power of what can happen when we come together to support one another,” Rodrigo said. “The organizations we’ve partnered with are doing incredibly important work every single day in the US and globally. I’m so grateful to every person who bought a ticket, every artist who waived their fee, every sponsor for signing onto a brand new festival, and every donation that helped get us to $10 million to support women and girls.” The money will be dispersed between the following ten charities: – Baby2Baby has provided over half a billion essential items including diapers, formula, clothing and food to children in need across the country. – Black Mamas Matter Alliance works to ensure Black mamas have the rights, respect, and resources to thrive before, during, and after pregnancy. – Center for Reproductive Rights takes the fight for reproductive rights to court, using the power of law and advocacy to defend access to care in the U.S. and around the world. – FreeFrom is the largest provider of direct cash assistance to survivors of gender-based violence and a leading advocate for survivor economic security. – Jhpiego partners with communities around the world to make quality health care more accessible to women, girls, and their families. – Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health partners with Indigenous communities across the U.S. to advance health and well-being through Indigenous-led research, community-based programs, and public health leadership. – National Domestic Workers Alliance organizes domestic workers across the U.S. to ensure the people who care for our children, elders, and homes have the rights, protections, and dignity they deserve. – National Institute for Reproductive Health fights for reproductive freedom nationally by working alongside state and local partners to expand abortion access, protect reproductive health data, and ensure Black and Indigenous pregnant people can have a safe, joyful birthing experience. – National Women’s Law Center fights for gender justice nationwide in the court system, in public policy, and in the culture at large is the largest provider of direct cash assistance to survivors of gender-based violence and a leading advocate for survivor economic security. – Planned Parenthood organizations have more than 550 health centers in communities nationwide and provide millions of people with access to sexual and reproductive health care, including birth control, cancer screenings, abortion, and more. The inaugural Daisy Chain Fields went down in Irvine, California, on Saturday, featuring performances from Rodrigo (with special guests Stevie Nicks, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan), Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, Mitski, The Breeders, Garbage, and more.
