  In 2008, Carlile and Tim and Phil Hanseroth established the Looking Out Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization to give financial support to and raise awareness of causes in which they believe. The foundation has awarded grants to multiple organizations including Reverb, Honor the Earth, the Bridge School, Children in Conflict, Black Visions Collective, Campaign Zero, the Women's Funding Alliance, Doctors Without Borders, and the Human Rights Campaign. The Looking Out Foundation has launched numerous grassroots campaigns including Looking Out for the Hungry, Fund Racial Justice, COVID-19 Relief Fund, the IF Project, Fight the Fear, and the Story Campaign. Carlile donates $2 from every concert ticket sale to the foundation.
  
  Carlile's wife, Catherine, has been the Looking Out Foundation's Executive Director since 2012. Since its inception, the Looking Out Foundation has donated almost $6 million to grassroots causes.
  
  In May 2017, Carlile released Cover Stories, a benefit album featuring songs from her 2007 album, The Story. Troubled by the world's refugee crisis, and the impact it has on children, Carlile and Looking Out Foundation chose War Child UK as the beneficiary of the album and have raised $1 million to help the children. Former US President Barack Obama wrote the foreword.
  
  In October 2018, Carlile teamed up with Sam Smith to re-imagine the single "Party of One" as a duet. Proceeds from the sale of the single went to the ongoing Story Campaign.
  
  In October 2020, Carlile and Alicia Keys urged people to vote with their song " A Beautiful Noise ", which the pair performed on 'Every Vote Counts: A Celebration of Democracy' and aired on CBS on October 29.
  
  In February 2023, the Looking Out Foundation raised $300,000 in seven days for the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake relief effort.
  
  Brandi and her wife Catherine were honored amongst People 's 2023 Women Changing the World for their work with the Looking Out Foundation.
