This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Billie Eilish has repeatedly backed environmental nonprofits through multi-pronged efforts: partnering with REVERB on tour greening and a Music Decarbonization Project (described as co‑founded by Eilish) and routing portions of “changemaker” ticket proceeds and tour donations through REVERB’s Climate Impact Fund; she promoted donations to GRID Alternatives and Support + Feed around Earth Day 2023; and in October 2025 she announced a pledge of $11.5 million from her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to food‑equity and climate organizations, with reporting saying funds will be distributed to groups including local food charities such as 412 Food Rescue via REVERB [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Available sources do not list a complete, year‑by‑year ledger of every nonprofit and dollar amount paid out, only the partnerships and public pledges above (not found in current reporting).
1. The recurring partner: REVERB and the Music Decarbonization Project
Eilish’s most consistent environmental financial relationship is with REVERB: her tour “changemaker” ticket program creates a Climate Impact Fund managed by REVERB, and REVERB’s Music Decarbonization Project is described as a campaign co‑founded or co‑launched with Eilish to cut greenhouse gas pollution in the music industry [1]. Reporting credits long‑running collaborations—Eco‑Villages at shows and earlier greening work—where REVERB helped run backstage recycling, refill stations and educational activations during Eilish’s tours [6] [1].
2. Public pledge and big number: $11.5 million announced in 2025
Multiple outlets report that at the Wall Street Journal Magazine Innovator Awards in October 2025 Eilish announced she would donate $11.5 million from her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to organizations fighting food inequity and the climate crisis; outlets say proceeds will support food‑equity, climate justice and carbon‑reduction projects and that distribution will be stewarded through REVERB’s structures [4] [7] [8] [3]. Those reports emphasize the pledge and the themes of the funding but do not publish a line‑by‑line recipient list or finalized distribution schedule [4] [8].
3. Specific named beneficiaries reported so far
Press reporting and partner statements name a few concrete beneficiaries tied to Eilish’s campaigning and the Changemaker Program: GRID Alternatives and Support + Feed were highlighted during Earth Day 2023 fan campaigns when Eilish closed her store and encouraged donations [2]. Local nonprofits that received REVERB‑managed donations tied to Eilish’s Changemaker Program include 412 Food Rescue in North America, which says donations from her North American tour were made to the organization via REVERB [5]. Sources do not provide a comprehensive master list of all groups that have received funds across all years [5] [2].
4. Support + Feed: family nonprofit that Eilish promotes and volunteers with
Support + Feed, a nonprofit founded by Eilish’s mother Maggie Baird, receives visibility and support from the family; reporting documents Baird and Billie appearing together at events and delivering meals via Support + Feed. Coverage notes Support + Feed’s role in food‑security work connected to Eilish’s climate and food‑equity messaging [9] [10]. Sources indicate fundraising appeals tied to Eilish’s campaigns encouraged donations to Support + Feed but do not quantify Eilish’s personal cash contributions to that organization [2] [9].
5. Disputes, scrutiny and gaps in public accounting
Some commentators have questioned the scale, timing and public accounting of celebrity giving; a watchdog‑style piece examined how reported totals flow through intermediary nonprofits such as REVERB and highlighted Support + Feed’s filings, raising questions about when and how large sums are disbursed [11]. Major news outlets, however, reported Eilish’s $11.5 million pledge and described REVERB as the steward for distribution but did not publish a full recipient breakdown or audited payment schedule [8] [3] [11].
6. What the sources don’t say (and why that matters)
Available sources list partnerships (REVERB, GRID Alternatives, Support + Feed), specific local beneficiaries (412 Food Rescue) and a headline pledge ($11.5M in 2025), but they do not provide a year‑by‑year transaction log or confirm exact dollar amounts sent to each named nonprofit across years (not found in current reporting). That absence prevents a precise, itemized answer to “which specific environmental nonprofits and in what years” without direct accounting from Eilish’s team, REVERB’s Climate Impact Fund, or recipient organizations (not found in current reporting).
Bottom line: reporting documents sustained, public financial and in‑kind support routed largely through REVERB’s tour Climate Impact Fund (including a high‑profile $11.5M pledge in 2025) and public appeals for GRID Alternatives and Support + Feed in 2023; specific per‑year, per‑organization payout records are not published in the sources provided [1] [2] [8] [5].
