Ariana Grande, who is currently touring the United States, has launched her new aid fund, the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation, and given an emergency grant to Save the Children UK. The charity said the money will go directly to children and families in Gaza.
Save the Children UK thanked Grande on social media, saying it was grateful to have been chosen by her foundation for the emergency grant. The organization, which provides cash assistance, hygiene support, health services and other aid, has also published regular reports on what it calls the devastating impact of the conflict on Palestinian children.
The amount of the donation was not disclosed, but the charity said that funds of this type have already provided cash assistance to 183,459 children, health and nutrition support to 83,000 children, and education programs for 11,357 children.
The donation fits a pattern of repeated pro-Palestinian activism by Grande in recent years. In May 2024, she shared an Instagram link to donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, prompting an immediate surge of tens of thousands of dollars and eventually helping raise more than $801,000 by January 2026. She also signed the Artists4Ceasefire letter calling for an immediate ceasefire, alongside Dua Lipa, Drake and others, and wrote on Instagram that the Israeli government was “crossing the red line.” Grande has repeatedly called for a ceasefire, accused Israel of “hunger in Gaza,” and liked and shared posts accusing Israel of “genocide.”
