How to Find Celebrities That Give to Charity

You can find a list of celebrities more specific to your charity by using the prompt below.  Simply add, amend or delete the options in <italics>.  It'll work in pretty much any text AI system, such as ChatGPT,  but I tend to use Copilot, because it provides links, or you can login and use our in-system AI bunny, if you don't have an AI account.

Please give me a list of at least 12 <music, film, Scottish> celebrities who support <sector, such as mental health> charities in the <location, such as UK, England>, together with details on the support they have provided.

Alternatively, here's a very comprehensive website of celebrity charity supporters and also an interactive map.

• Search by Cause or Charity.  The website Look to the Stars enables you to search 1000s of celebrities who support charities and also charities with celebrity supporters, sorted by cause.
• Search by Location.  An interactive UK people map, where city names are replaced by their most Wikipedia’ed resident: people born in, lived in, or connected to a place.
