\n\t\u201cWhat @daisychainfields set in motion will last far beyond a single night,\u201d French Gates wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of herself with Rodrigo. \u201cI was so inspired by @oliviarodrigo\u2019s vision, which is why I couldn\u2019t be prouder to contribute $10 million through @pivotaldotcom, doubling the amount this extraordinary community already raised for organizations supporting women & girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019s devoted her life to empowering women and girls that might have otherwise been forgotten,\u201d Rodrigo told the crowd. \u201cShe\u2019s generous and brave and has done so much good in this world, and I\u2019m totally floored because as well as being in attendance here tonight, she\u2019s pledged to double every dollar that we made here today to a grand total of funds being donated to $20 million. I\u2019m so grateful!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe partner organizations benefiting from the festival\u2019s initial $10 million include Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women\u2019s Law Center and Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n
