Ariana Grande has launched a new foundation to support the LGBTQ+ community.
The Brighter Days Ahead Foundation will distribute funding through four programmes focused on LGBTQ+ rights, mental health support, visibility, and emergency aid.
The Protect and Defend Fund will support grassroots organisations fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights, and reproductive justice.
The Heal and Dream Fund will expand access to mental health care and community support services, while the Seen and Celebrated Fund will help amplify LGBTQ+ voices and stories through organisations including Gender Liberation Movement, Glisten Rainbow Library, SAGE USA, TransLash, and Transanta.
A fourth programme, the Emergency Support Fund, will provide rapid assistance during crises and urgent situations affecting vulnerable communities.
Speaking about the foundation, Grande said: “Our mission is to support, protect, and provide resources for our vulnerable friends in need.”
“It has been my privilege to be able to support these causes on my own over the years,” she added. “I’m grateful to now be able to expand that reach and amplify the life-saving work that these organisations do.”
