All Lana Del Rey's philanthropy / charity works (compilation)

[eevee]

I don't know if this has discussed anywhere but I think we need a thread to compile and discuss about Lana's charity works in her career so far. I don't see many conversation about charity / philanthropy works when she is one of the celebrity who is actually giving back to the community and always puts her heart where it needs to be put.  

 

Do you guys know notable charitable works Lana has participated in somewhere, at any form (foundation, performing, activism, etc) we can talk about in this thread? 

 

For i.e: this & the Navajo are ones  i can think of

During her tour in Autumn 2023, she donated the proceeds from her ticket sales to the communities of the cities where she performed:

 

During the final show of her mini tour in Charleston earlier this week, Lana Del Rey revealed that she intends to give back all of the proceeds from her ticket sales.

 

The A&W singer shared on stage that all of the money from her 10-date tour of mid-sized southern American cities will be donated back to the communities of each one.

 

"I just wanted to say thank you to you and just every city I’ve gone to before this," Del Rey said towards the end of her performance in videos shared to social media. "I also wanted to let you know, for what it’s worth, every ticket, every dollar, it is poured right back into the city."

In June 2006, she also was one of the volunteers who helped rebuild houses for Indian Reservations in Utah:

 

Also in 2014, she performed at the amfAR Charity Gala in Cannes, which raised $38 million to fund HIV/AIDS research.

 

Her best known act of philantrophy/charity is definitely the Navajo's clean water project in 2020:

 

Lana Del Rey has revealed that she donated an advance payment from her latest book to provide clean water for some of the most vulnerable communities of America’s Navajo Nation.

 

In an Instagram post, Del Rey revealed how the payment, which she received for the book Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass, has been donated to the Dig Deep Water project.

 

"No matter what the results of the election just remember we can each as individuals shine brightly and contribute to our world in our own individual way," she wrote.

 

“As I’ve been lucky enough to be given an advance from Simon and Schuster, I’m so grateful to be able to spread that money around to foundations that are in need of our help

beginning with foundations connected to the Navajo community."

 

"We hope the @digdeepwater project will find relief with the $350,000 that we delivered to them last month. I personally have always believed in personal reparations to give back to the people who have shaped our land. I look forward to updating you on the rest of the donations that we make throughout the year."

Back in 2019 when she released Looking For America after the mass shootings:

 

“Del Rey would also write that the entirety of the proceeds made from the song would go to support the Gilroy Garlic Festival Victims Relief Fund, El Paso Community Relief Fund, and Dayton Foundation. These funds were created to support the victims of the mass shootings Del Rey had previously acknowledged inspired the writing of the song.”
