In an innovative way, Lilith Fair has joined with sponsors that share it's commitment to entertain, benefit and contribute to local communities. The corporate support has been divided into various thematic categories including Learning and Wellness.

Borders Books and Music is the Learning sponsor.

Borders Books and Music will be the exclusive on-site music retailer at all U.S. Lilith Fair concerts. They have promised to donate a portion of CD sales from Lilith Fair artists to LIFEbeat and RAINN, two of the national Lilith Fair charities. Borders Books and Music will host in-store appearances by Lilith Fair artists, and a portion of the proceeds from the in-stores will be given to select local charities.

Nine West is the Wellness sponsor.

Breast cancer is the number one killer of young women. Since 1993, Nine West Group has supported the Strang Cornell Breast Centre and aided their efforts to focus on early detection and prevention of the disease. Through their involvement in Lilith Fair, Nine West furthers their support of breast cancer awareness, detection and prevention.

Biore also joins Lilith Fair. As a part of the Biore commitment to serving the needs of young women, the Biore division of the Andrew Jergens Company will donate funds to charities promoting the health and welfare of women.
