What is the name of Lady Gaga's humanitarian organization?

Lady Gaga’s humanitarian organization is the Born This Way Foundation.

Lady Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded the nonprofit to support young people’s mental health and wellness. Its name comes from Gaga’s 2011 album Born This Way and the album’s title song, linking the organization’s identity to themes of self-acceptance and resilience.

The foundation was launched on February 29, 2012. Its work has included promoting kindness, encouraging open conversations about mental health, reducing stigma, and helping young people build supportive communities. Gaga has often connected the organization’s mission with her own experiences of bullying and mental-health struggles.

A common mix-up is treating “Kindness Matters Foundation” as the name of Gaga’s charity. Kindness is central to the foundation’s message, but the official organization is called Born This Way Foundation. The group is sometimes abbreviated as BTWF.
