CHICAGO — Chance the Rapper announced on Twitter today the Chicago Public Schools that would receive checks as part of his donation plan.

Each of these CPS school will get $10,000 from Chance’s non-profit Social Works Chicago.

 

The schools are:

  • Charles Carroll Elementary
  • Clemente High School
  • Fenger High School
  • Hirsch High School
  • Juarez High School
  • Mahalia Jackson Elementary
  • Nathan S. Davis Elementary
  • Orr High School
  • Robeson High School

 

Earlier this week, Chance announced he is donating $1 million to Chicago Public Schools to support arts and enrichment programming.  He made that announcement Oliver S. Westcott Elementary, which is also receiving $10,000.

These $10,000 grants are in addition to this $1 million.

The million dollar gift comes just three days after three-time Grammy winner and product of CPS left a meeting with Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner. Chance met with the governor to to discuss school funding and was not thrilled with what he heard.

“The governor gave me a lot of vague answers in our meeting and called me over the weekend. Our talks were unsuccessful,” Chance said.

The one million dollars is not meant to cure the $215 million CPS funding shortfall, but to call attention to the political feud in Springfield and how it affects communities.
