POLICY WIRE — Irvine, California — Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival, held on August 29, 2026, at Great Park in Irvine, California, successfully raised $20 million for women’s well-being. The event featured a women-led lineup including Chappell Roan, Doechii, and Bikini Kill, focusing on women’s health, workplace protections, and legal rights.

Rodrigo announced a $10 million donation to 10 nonprofit partners, such as Planned Parenthood, National Women’s Law Center, and Black Mamas Matter Alliance. Melinda French Gates pledged an additional $10 million through her Pivotal Ventures, praising Rodrigo for her impact on a new generation.

The festival’s ‘philanthropy village’ allowed attendees to engage with nonprofit partners, collecting pins and learning about various health services and advocacy efforts. The event echoed the spirit of Lilith Fair, with Sarah McLachlan as a special guest.

Nonprofit leaders, including Planned Parenthood’s Caren Spruch and National Domestic Workers Alliance’s Ai-jen Poo, highlighted the importance of such events in normalizing reproductive health discussions and fostering intergenerational connections. The festival’s grants for general operating support were particularly praised for their flexibility and impact.
