7. Co-founded Donda’s House
Donda’s House was founded in 2013, and was named in honor of Kanye’s mother, who tragically passed away in 2007 due to complications from cosmetic surgery. The foundation’s goal was to help prevent kids from dropping out of school. It provides arts and music instruction to youth in Chicago, while improving their academic ability. This is significant since creative classes are usually the first to be cut when schools are facing financial crises. Thanks to Kanye and others associated with Donda’s House, Chicago’s youth can follow their dreams. In 2015, Kanye made a record donation of $133,000 to Donda’s House to secure its future.
