When artists make it big in the music industry, sometimes
they like to give back. Most of the time
they give back to their home town. Whether it’s donating to their local
charity, starting a foundation, or showing up to their old neighborhood and
showing love to the community; artists likes to make their contribution to the
community.
This is especially true for Chance The Rapper, an
independent recording artist and Chicago native. Chance The Rapper has worked
effortlessly to give back to his home town of Chicago and already has made many
contributions to the public school system.
The first of his many humanitarian acts was in March when he
donated over one million dollars to the Chicago Public Schools foundation. He
donated ten thousand dollars to 12 schools under the New Chance Arts and Literature
Fund. Which lead to an additional one million dollars being donated by the
Chicago Bulls, making it a collective 2.2 million dollar donation.
Also his most recent act of giving back was April 16th
when he spent his birthday at Studio Paris Nightclub raising over $100,000 for
his youth charity.
It’s always good to see people who become successful give
back to the community that supports them. It’s even interesting to see such
acts of kindness come from an individual that is so young. At 24 years old it
catches people off guard that he’s donating and doing charity work like he has
been. All of his contributions and efforts to turn the city of Chicago around
has many people wondering, just what will he do next?

I heard about this on the Joe Rogan podcast. Chance's love for the city of Chicago is genuine. Hopefully, he inspires other artist and people of influence to do the same.
