Andrew Garfield may be known for swinging across skyscrapers and delivering heartfelt performances on screen, but his real-world impact is just as powerful. Off-screen, Garfield is quietly — and consistently — using his platform to uplift causes that often go unnoticed. His brand of activism isn’t performative. It’s purposeful, and deeply human.
Since 2011, Garfield has served as a dedicated ambassador for the Worldwide Orphans Foundation (WWO), supporting their work with vulnerable children in countries like Ethiopia and Haiti. Whether working directly with youth or raising funds — like the time he danced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to raise $10,000 — Garfield brings energy, humility, and heart to the cause.
He’s also found creative ways to bring attention to charitable organizations. During the height of his fame, Garfield and then-partner Emma Stone famously held up hand-written signs to paparazzi cameras, redirecting media attention to charities such as Autism Speaks, Gilda’s Club NYC (a cancer support community), and WWO. It was a small gesture with major reach — turning celebrity culture into a vehicle for awareness.
Garfield’s compassion extends to deeply personal causes, too. He has supported SurvivorsUK, a charity aiding male survivors of sexual abuse, through his participation in a charity play — helping open up critical conversations about healing and justice.
In 2023, Garfield joined fellow artists in signing an open letter under the Artists4Ceasefire coalition, urging the U.S. government to advocate for a ceasefire in Gaza. His name carried weight — not just because he’s famous, but because he consistently shows up for the causes he believes in.
Whether supporting rainforest protection, youth mentorship in London, or breast cancer research, Andrew Garfield continues to redefine what it means to be a public figure — grounded, generous, and ready to act.
