This year's target represents a significant increase from N55 million raised in the previous year's event. The six beneficiaries of the N500 million campaign are OAKonsult Disabilities Outreach, Lokola School for the Deaf and Special Needs, Excellent Child Support Initiative, Festus Fajemilo Foundation, AIM Special Children Centre, and Irede Foundation. Green Worship founder and managing trustee, Wale Adenuga, emphasized that the concert is about supporting children in need, not just about the music. Concert for Change Foundation has raised over N210 million since its inception, benefiting more than 8,000 children across Nigeria. The 2026 edition of Green Worship is free to attend, with registration required, and the foundation plans to continue its 21 Days of Giving campaign following the concert.",
