Olivia Rodrigo has announced that $10 million is being donated toward organizations supporting reproductive health, including access to abortions, and maternal health care as part of her first-ever Daisy Chain Fields music festival.
Net proceeds for the music festival, which celebrates women in music, will go toward 10 nonprofit organizations, the festival had previously announced.
Daisy Chain Fields brings together artists like Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill and Stevie Nicks for a sold-out festival in Irvine on Saturday, Aug. 29.
“Daisy Chain Fields was created to celebrate the power of what can happen when we come together to support one another,” Rodrigo said in a statement.
The Grammy-winning singer described the organizations’ work as
“incredibly important.”
“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 to $10 million dollars to support women and girls,” Rodrigo said.
Here’s a brief description of what these 10 organizations do:
- Baby2Baby provides children in need with diapers, clothing and basic necessities. The nonprofit says it distributes basic essentials to foster care agencies, homeless shelters, domestic violence programs and more.
- Black Mamas Matter Alliance aims to address maternal health inequities among Black women and improve their maternal health outcomes, including by cultivating research and through policy change. The alliance, a network of Black-led and Black women-led organizations and professionals, “foster connections and collaborations between mainstream entities and Black women-led initiatives.”
- The Center for Reproductive Rights is a legal organization protecting reproductive rights and reproductive health globally. Among what the Center for Reproductive Rights does is advocate against the rollback of abortion rights and works to overturn restrictive abortion laws.
- FreeFrom works to end gender-based violence and offers programs centered around finances and cash assistance, community building events, access to survivor experts for various skills and more.

NIRH works with groups "invested in this fight to pass laws that expand access to abortion and contraception and advance health equity."
