Elton John’s AIDS Foundation, EJAF, is one of the best charities in the world. Today Sir Elton announced that they’re donating $1 million to the COVID 19 Emergency Fund. On top of that, the “Living Room” concert that Elton hosted on Fox last week raised $10 million!

“Today, I’m proud to announce that my Foundation @EJAF is launching a $1million COVID-19 Emergency Fund to make sure that our frontline partners can respond to the effects of COVID-19 on HIV care for the most marginalised communities around the world. Now and always, I’m committed to not leave anyone affected by HIV behind. Click on the link in my bio for more info. Sending love to all of our Foundation’s partners, grantees, supporters, frontline workers and members of our community during this time. xx”
