surpassing $1 million in donations in less than a year—a record for artist-led initiatives with the nonprofit
PLUS1

Launched during her
Short n' Sweet
tour in partnership with PLUS1, the fund donates $1 from every ticket sold to causes close to Carpenter's heart: mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, and
animal welfare
. The fund raised $824,000 during her North American tour and crossed the million-dollar mark during her European dates, all while engaging millions of fans online—over 7.5 million views on
social media
have amplified the effort.
PLUS1 CEO Marika Anthony-Shaw praised Carpenter's approach, saying,
'Sabrina is setting a new standard, one where social impact becomes woven into an artist's career to create meaningful, lasting change'.
Supporting life-changing organizations
The Sabrina Carpenter Fund has already provided significant grants to organizations such as:
Live Events
The
JED Foundation
(youth mental health and suicide prevention)
PAPYRUS (24/7 mental health support for LGBTQ+ youth in the UK)
Rainbow Railroad (safety and freedom for LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide).
Carpenter's creative fundraising extends beyond ticket sales, with partnerships like Erewhon supporting mental health initiatives and unique concert experiences—such as a 'cuddle lounge' with adoptable animals—further boosting donations.
Reflecting on the milestone, Carpenter told Forbes,
'I am incredibly thankful to use my platform to amplify the efforts of remarkable organizations… Their work is truly transformative'.
As
Pride Month
concluded, she shared a heartfelt message to her LGBTQ+ fans:
'You have always been there for me, and I am dedicated to being there for you. Thank you for your unwavering support, for bringing joy into my life, and for exemplifying the beauty of being your authentic self'.
