Ariana Grande launches new foundation dedicated to various vunerable communities

  • Ariana Grande has launched the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation, a new charitable organisation dedicated to supporting vulnerable communities across various causes.
  • The foundation's mission is to provide resources and protection, focusing on LGBT+ rights, mental healthcare, reproductive justice, and emergency relief through four distinct funds.
  • Organisations such as Lambda Legal, Trans Lifeline, and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund have already received support from the foundation, formalising Grande's long-standing philanthropic efforts.
  • The announcement follows Grande's public condemnation of the White House for using her song 'Bye' in a social media post promoting US immigration arrests, which she described as 'barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense'.
  • The White House defended its use of the song, stating that 'criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens' are what is 'barbaric, inhumane, and heinous', amidst President Trump's expanded ICE enforcement operations.
