Ariana Grande launches foundation to provide support for LGBTQ+ community

The charity will back LGBTQ+ rights, mental health care and emergency aid through four funds, with Lambda Legal and Trans Lifeline among the partners.

  • On Friday, musician Ariana Grande launched the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation, a new charity supporting the LGBTQ+ community with mental health services and arts education programs.
  • The foundation operates through four distinct funds: the Protect and Defend Fund supports grassroots LGBTQ+ advocacy, while the Heal and Dream Fund expands mental health access and the Emergency Support Fund responds to crises.
  • Grande has a history of LGBTQ+ philanthropy: she partnered with Better Help in 2021 to provide $2m in free therapy and launched the Protect & Defend Trans Youth Fund in 2022, raising more than $3m for 18 organizations.
  • The announcement followed Grande's recent criticism of the White House for using her music in an ICE video, which she called "barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense" in social media comments.
  • Grande is currently on her 41-date Eternal Sunshine tour, which began in Oakland, California, on June 6, and she will release her eighth studio album, Petal, on July 31.
