Cause Celebs: Celebrating Celebrity-Philanthropists – Dive into a world where Hollywood’s biggest names transcend the silver screen to make a tangible impact. From Lady Gaga to Miley Cyrus, these A-listers leverage their star power for good, championing causes close to their hearts.

Harry Styles has been one of the world’s leading male pop stars for over a decade now. Whether he was dazzling the world as a member of the sensational boy band One Direction or with his stellar solo endeavors, Styles draws sold-out shows wherever he lands.

With over 48 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 48 million Instagram followers, he’s one of the most talked about artists on the planet. He’s got a massive following, which provides the platform and position to advocate for multiple causes along the way. 

His most recent tour — Love On Tour — presented 173 shows around the globe. And while fans flocked to hear his music, Styles didn’t waste any time encouraging fans to support a few worthy causes while there. 

If you’ve been to his show, you may have noticed screens prompting you to sign up to vote or to end gun violence. He often totes flags supporting the LGBTQ+ community, while simultaneously uplifting organizations with similar missions. 

Harry Styles is quite aware of the privileged position he has, which is why Love On Tour was able to raise over $6.5 million for various charities in each city on his tour. However, much of this success is thanks to his dedicated fanbase, who truly cares about the causes he supports. 

And it’s thanks to his dedicated fans that Harry Styles stands out as one of today’s most philanthropic artists. Could get any more endearing in our eyes? 

Let’s take a look at how Harry Styles has supported many causes throughout his career. 

How Love On Tour Earned $6.5 Million For Charity 

Although it was only Styles’ second headlining tour, it was absolutely monumental. Unlike other solo artists, the world already knew his name. He had a sector of fans from his One Direction days that were feral for more. 

As you walk around the arena before one of his shows, you can see booths for various causes like Choose Love, Planned Parenthood, and the Black Voters Matter Fund. Screens encourage you to hear more about matters like gun violence or urge you to sign up to vote. 

His hope is that fans will take a moment before the show to learn about a good cause. By supporting multiple charities and organizations, he’s able to expand his horizons and empower fans to choose the causes they care about.

And by supporting multiple charities and organizations, Love On Tour is the fourth highest-grossing tour of all time, earning over $590 million from shows across North and South America, Asia, Europe, and Australia. This includes residencies at The Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

So it makes sense that Styles was able to raise such a meaningful amount for charity on this extensive tour. With a dedicated fanbase, Styles was able to raise money for organizations like: 

• Planned Parenthood
• Choose Love
• Rebuild Foundation
• Physicians for Reproductive Health
• REVERB
• Everytown for Gun Safety
• Save the Children

Particularly in North America where gun violence and women’s reproductive rights are pressing issues in a highly combative election, Styles made it a priority to advocate for these vital causes. 

If that wasn’t enough, he also partnered with HeadCount to help register 54,000 voters who attended his concert. The incentive was a trip to Los Angeles to see his iconic HarryWeen performance live. 

Styles truly lives by his slogan Treat People With Kindness. He pays attention to what’s going on in the world and works to make a difference far beyond just making music. 

Harry Styles’ Other Philanthropic Efforts 

Like Taylor Swift’s Swiftonomics, Styles also boosts the economy everywhere he goes. 

Behind the scenes, Styles makes sure to donate whenever possible. When his song, “Music For A Sushi Restaurant,” was used in an Apple commercial, he gave all proceeds to the International Rescue Committee. 

In 2020, when the murder of George Floyd sparked protests in response to systemic racism and police brutality, Styles marched in solidarity. He also posted bail for arrested organizers. 

That same year, when the global pandemic raged, Styles released a shirt to help with COVID-19 efforts that stated “Stay Home. Stay Safe. Protect Each Other.”All proceeds went towards the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Fund. 

Wherever Harry Styles goes, he continuously seeks new ways to make a difference and inspire change. With millions of dollars donated to his chosen causes, he stands out as one of the most philanthropic artists of our time. 

Styles exemplifies the power of using one’s platform for good, proving that even in the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, a commitment to compassion and community can lead to a profound impact. His dedication encourages others to join the movement, fostering a world where generosity and kindness thrive.
