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.

Better than someone like Leonardo DiCaprio who is building a $100 million dollar hotel in Israel.

But to be fair, the hotel will be eco-friendly, so that it makes it ok. /s

I’d say none of them are better. They’re all equally bad.
