Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo is bringing her Guts world tour to Columbus on Friday. And along with the tour comes Rodrigo's fundraiser for abortion access.

The three-time Grammy-winning singer launched Fund 4 Good – "a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom" – in February and has pledged to donate a portion of her ticket sales from each show to local abortion funds.

For her North American shows, the 21-year-old has partnered with the National Network of Abortion Funds, a non-profit made of up 100 abortion funds across the country that "help ease economic and logistical barriers for people seeking abortions," including assistance with transportation, childcare, translation and doula services.

It's a topic she's long been passionate about. In 2022, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, she stopped a concert to condemn the decision.

At her March 12 concert in Missouri, where abortion is illegal in most cases, the singer made headlines for hosting abortion care organizations, the Missouri Abortion Fund and Right By You, who handed out resources and emergency contraceptives at the star's St. Louis concert.

In November, Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights. The National Network of Abortion Funds has not replied to an email about which Ohio funds will benefit from Rodrigo's concert.

Where is the Olivia Rodrigo Guts tour playing?

Rodrigo will perform at Nationwide Arena in Columbus on Friday, March 22. The show is part of her Guts world tour, which kicked off Feb. 23 in California and shares the name of her sophomore album.

She will take the Guts tour to Europe in late April before returning to the U.S. in mid-July.
