100% of the net proceeds from the festival will be donated to 10 non-profit organizations focused on reproductive rights, mental health, domestic violence, and maternal health, such as Baby2Baby, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and Planned Parenthood. Community-led workshops and activities will also be available on-site.

Before the festival, Rodrigo held a press conference, announcing a $10 million donation to the participating organizations. She wore a custom-made pink embroidered mini-dress by Palestinian fashion brand Nöl Collective, featuring traditional Tatreez embroidery symbolizing freedom and movement. The singer completed her look with vintage Gucci shoes and a Lilith pendant necklace, paying homage to Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair, a key inspiration for the festival.

"Daisy Chain Fields was created to celebrate the power of coming together to support one another," Rodrigo stated. "I'm grateful to everyone who bought a ticket, every artist who waived their fee, and every sponsor for helping us reach $10 million to support women and girls."

Festival attendees can purchase special merchandise, including an Anna Sui tee collaboration. For those unable to attend, Rodrigo has curated a handmade collection of pieces from 10 female-owned Etsy shops, known as the Daisy Chain Fields Collection. The festival promises to be a celebration of female empowerment, with flower crowns and feminist moments expected throughout the event.
