Dolly Parton and Eric Church are the only country artists to make Time's inaugural TIME100 Philanthropy List.

Dolly earned a spot in the "Titans" category. She is being recognized for her focus on her home state of Tennessee through the Dollywood Foundation, and her efforts on a national and international scale. In recent years Dolly has sent $1 million to COVID-19 vaccine research, and $1 million to help those affected by Hurricane Helene. Eric Church makes the "Trailblazers" section for his commitment to helping people in North Carolina after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. The Concert for Carolina, organized by Eric and Luke Combs, raised more than $24.5 million for relief efforts. Since then, Eric has continued to help by launching a new building initiative to restore communities and create new homes for displaced families.
