Revived Lilith Fair to Benefit Social Enterprises and Microfinance

June 29, 2010, 1:50 pm

Lilith Fair, the traveling music festival that showcases female artists and that is being revived after an 11-year hiatus, will donate proceeds to three social-mission businesses, according to Bloomberg.

The 2010 tour, which opened Sunday in Calgary, will give $1 from each ticket sold to Alter Eco Fair Trade, which distributes farm products; Better World Books, which finances literacy programs through book sales; and To-Go Ware, which supports products to replace disposable food packaging and utensils. The firms will also showcase their work at an exhibition at concert venues.

Ticket buyers will be encouraged to make donations to Grameen America, the New York unit of the international microfinance organization Grameen Trust.
