Olivia Rodrigo Launches ‘Fund 4 Good’ Initiative on Guts World Tour
Last night, Olivia Rodrigo kicked off her highly anticipated ‘Guts World Tour’ in Palm Springs, California, with an electrifying hour-and-a-half set. However, it wasn’t just her music that stole the show. The 21-year-old singer unveiled a groundbreaking initiative that will accompany her on the 75-stop tour: The Fund 4 Good.
Whispers of this initiative first emerged in the fall of 2023, but Rodrigo took to her official fan accounts on TikTok and Instagram yesterday to share more details. In a video from her dressing room, she expressed her excitement about the tour and introduced the project.
“Fund 4 Good works to support all women, girls, and people seeking reproductive health freedom,” Rodrigo revealed. “The fund will directly support community-based nonprofits that champion things like girls’ education, support reproductive rights, and prevent gender-based violence.”
What makes this initiative even more remarkable is that a portion of all ticket sales from the Guts World Tour will be donated to the Fund 4 Good. Rodrigo’s commitment to making a difference doesn’t stop there. For the North American leg of the tour, she has partnered with the National Network of Abortion Funds to assist those facing healthcare barriers in accessing reproductive care.
Rodrigo’s dedication to empowering women and gender expansive individuals is evident in every aspect of her tour. The New York Times reports that all of her openers are female acts, and her dancers are exclusively women, transgender, or non-binary. This deliberate choice showcases her commitment to inclusivity and representation.
In her video announcement, Rodrigo encouraged fans to learn more about the initiative through an attached link or by visiting a National Network of Abortion Funds table at the various tour stops. The response from fans was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their admiration for the young singer’s efforts.
“I’m so glad young girls have such a wonderful role model to look up to,” one commenter wrote. Another fan added, “Thank you so much for what you’re doing. This is why you are my idol.”
Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour promises to be more than just a series of concerts. It is a platform for change, a celebration of women’s empowerment, and a catalyst for social progress. By launching the Fund 4 Good initiative, Rodrigo is using her influence and talent to make a tangible difference in the lives of countless individuals.
As fans eagerly anticipate her upcoming shows, they can take pride in knowing that their ticket purchases will contribute to a cause that promotes reproductive health freedom, supports girls’ education, and fights against gender-based violence. Olivia Rodrigo has proven that she is not only a remarkable artist but also a compassionate advocate for change.
So, get ready to sing along, dance your heart out, and join Olivia Rodrigo on her Guts World Tour. Together, we can make the world a better place, one concert at a time.
