Alessia Cara, the Grammy-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, has announced a significant philanthropic commitment by dedicating 21 years of royalty earnings from one of her extended play releases to organisations working with vulnerable and underprivileged children.
The pledge reflects Cara's longstanding interest in social causes and youth welfare. Through this arrangement, funds generated from streams, downloads, and other revenue channels associated with the EP will be directed towards charities and non-profit organisations focused on supporting children in difficult circumstances.
Cara, known for hits including "Here" and "Scars to Your Beautiful," has previously been vocal about mental health awareness and social issues affecting young people. This latest commitment represents a tangible financial contribution to these causes over an extended period.
The initiative demonstrates how artists are increasingly leveraging their creative output to generate sustained funding for charitable purposes. By committing royalties across two decades, Cara ensures ongoing support for vulnerable populations, moving beyond one-time donations to create a lasting impact.
The specific organisations and programmes that will benefit from these royalties are expected to be announced in due course, as the arrangement takes effect.
