Lauren Daigle Gives Nearly $700K to Charities Across the Country Over Holiday Season
By Movieguide® Staff
Christian singer Lauren Daigle decided to participate in holiday giving this year through her organization The Price Fund, donating over $600,000 to charities across the country.
The Grammy-award-winning artist donated $100,000 to New Orleans’ Ellis Marsalis Center, Roots of Music, NOCCA, KidSmart and Young Audiences of Louisiana.
“I’m truly moved and inspired by the passion and commitment that I’ve seen from every single person involved with all of these organizations — not to mention the tireless and seemingly endless work done by their volunteers,” the ‘You Say’ singer said. “The thousands whose lives they touch each and every day, not only provides light and hope for so many in need, it sets an example for all of us to follow and shows us what we do mean to each other.”
In 2019, Daigle used ticket sales to establish The Price Fund and has since donated over $2.2 million to non-profits around the world.

Award-winning recording artist Lauren Daigle hopes her most recent track, “Hold on to Me,” will raise money for charities.
Although the famous Christian singer started writing the song in 2019, Daigle said she could not predict the timeliness of “Hold on to Me” in 2020.
“This song took on a new meaning, especially after 2020,” Daigle said of her new song. “We wrote this song in 2019. We were on the road and we performed it for the first time in Wichita, Kansas.”
Daigle continued: “I remember, in the moment, loving what the crowd brought to the song. I remember thinking, ‘Ah man, this is really exciting and beautiful,’ just to see their response. I also was like, ‘Wow this is a beautiful song but I wonder, you know what, I wonder when the depth of this lyric is going to hit me because each song kind of hits differently.’”
But after a year filled with uncertainty and a need for hope, Daigle said God answered her question.
“So, 2020 happens, and the team was like we should release ‘Hold On To Me’ even though I had no idea that this year was about to come,” Daigle said. “I think that’s what makes song so special, is just the fact that you write it with a certain intent, and a certain feeling and certain purpose, and time happens, and then you realize, ‘wow, that lyric might have been for something completely different.’
“Fast forward, now we’re in 2021. And looking back, people need to feel like there’s somebody there next to them, needs to feel like ‘I have somebody I can lean on, I have an army, even when I’m not myself, even when I feel doubt or feel discouraged or feel angst, or feel uncertainty, there are people that can see beyond.’ Those are the people that I love to lean on.”
