Chance The Rapper made an announcement Monday morning live via his Instagram account, that he would be donating $1 million to the Chicago Public Schools foundation. The announcement comes following an “unsuccessful” meeting he had with Governor Bruce Rauner of Illinois to discuss the lack of funding for Chicago public schools.
The news of Chance The Rapper donating money reached many, including the former First Lady. In a tweet Michelle Obama thanked Chance calling him “an example of the power of arts education”.
We agree with the First Lady, Thank you Chance for being a great influence and supporting the youth!
Thanks @chancetherapper for giving back to the Chicago community, which gave us so much. You are an example of the power of arts education.
