Introducting The World's FIRST
HIP-HOP COMMUNITY FUND
For The Culture
Partnering with Beats Rhymes & Relief, a 501(c)3
with a global presence that harnesses the power of Hip Hop to educate, uplift and empower marginalized communities, we’ve launched the world’s first Hip Hop Community Fund, the For The Culture Fund, a first of its kind endowment created to support a holistic approach to healing.
With an initial fundraising goal of $250,000,000, this fund will support at least 50 organizations whose missions are to improve the community through violence prevention services, food and housing security, criminal justice reform, health and wellness services, and most importantly, youth engagement.
Our goal is to build a permanent bridge of support that connects our beloved community and the organizations working hard within it to the resources they need to sustain their work, create new programs that focus on holistic healing, and empower future generations to continue to work toward a safer, brighter, more equitable future for Hip Hop and the communities that birthed the culture.
The Benefactors
These 50 organizations have been vetted and approved by our board and will be eligible to receive support from our For The Culture Fund to help sustain the amazing work they do in our beloved community.
