Pop superstar Ariana Grande has helped raise more than $801,000 for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) as of January 2026, demonstrating the power of celebrity influence on humanitarian causes.

The milestone has also reignited debate online over the responsibility of public figures to use their platforms for activism, with past comments from Selena Gomez resurfacing in the discussion.

Grande first boosted the fundraiser in May 2024 by sharing a direct donation link on her Instagram story. Within minutes, PCRF reported a $40,000 surge in contributions.

Yep, this is pathetic.

Oh, here, my fans can just... donate, yeah, but oh no I don't wanna hurt my bottom line, beyond maximizing my tax rebates.

She could probably sell her own shit in a bottle and make $800,000.

I'd buy that shit in a bottle for $800,001, what a sucker

... what a sucker.

Very poor choice of words.

What I do with the products I purchase is my business and every retailer on the planet apparently alone.
