Washington D.C. [USA], June 12 (ANI): Ariana Grande is turning into a philanthropist! The singer is donating all the money generated from her concert in Atlanta, Georgia on June 8, to the cause of Planned Parenthood.

"Ariana Grande's generous donation comes at a critical time -- in Georgia and across the country, anti-women's health politicians are trying to ban all safe, legal abortion," said Dr Leana Wen, Planned Parenthood Action Fund President.
Wen continued, "This is not what the American people want, nor is it something they'll stand for."Wen expressed the organization's gratitude to the 'Thank u, next' singer for her 'longstanding commitment supporting women's rights and standing with Planned Parenthood.'Grande's strong move also comes after her Atlanta 'Sweetener' tour met with some anti-pride demonstrators.
In response to the demonstrations, Grande shared a video on Twitter on Sunday and said, "man... saddened but not surprised by this one bit.""I'm so sorry any of my fans had to encounter this. We will do our best to ensure this doesn't happen again," she added.
"Proud of u all for not fighting/engaging violently. Never worth it. wishing him peacea healed heart cause girl yikes," Grande said.
The singer has been a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ community and has been vocal about her support for Planned Parenthood.
