Joseph Collins, former executive of the Kanye West Foundation, recently revealed that the charity has closed its doors.
Geared towards reducing high school dropout rates, the charity appears to be no more. “I am reaching out to let you know that the Kanye West Foundation (kanyewestfoundation.org) has officially closed it doors after a successful 4+ years of programming and events,” wrote Collins in an e-mail, according to The New York Times. “It has been an incredible experience working with Kanye and the board to realize his mother’s vision and I am honored to have been given the opportunity to lead the Foundation.”
No details have been given about the charity’s closing, though the Times article did point out several incongruities.
First, the charity does not appear to have been funded by Kanye, even though it filed tax forms as if it were a private foundation.
Additionally, the charity raised an average of $492,000, and made total grants averaging $18,080 in 2007, 2008 and 2009, bottoming out at only $563 in the last year.
Kanye was unavailable for comment.

KANYE WEST DOESN’T CARE ABOUT “BLACK PEOPLE.”
Hearing news like this infuriates me! Kanye West is an artist we all know and love, and this is how he repays his community?!?! We buy and support his album and he shows us his gratitude with $563. This makes me HATE the Hip hop community. When I read news like this, sometimes, I want to question myself as to why I support this crap? This is a prime example of a successful rapper and American greed. He’s got ALL the money in the world and he can’t bother to fork over a couple thousands or hundred thousands to better his community or hometown?!? For the record, I’m glad Wiz Khalifa stole Amber Rose from this selfish tool! I hope they get married and have MANY kids. As his “loyal†fans, I can’t believe we continue to support this clown and listen to his music religiously. This should be a sign to ALL the Hip hop fans to show you how much the artists really care about us. According to Kanye West, we’re all worth $563.
Ur an idiot bro.
re-read the article again. the $563 is not what Kanye donated, its what the public donated.
