Chance The Rapper has become part of another philanthropic cause toward his home city of Chicago. The new initiative encourages Chicago teens to get involved and offers $2 million dollars to those with innovative ideas.
$2 million towards great ideas to help Chicago's kids – submit @Chicago_Beyond and https://t.co/6xgJmOAyf2 #GoInnovate

Funded and coordinated by Chicago Beyond, the Go Innovate Challenge is a “think tank of ideas,” as Chance called it. Teens as young as 13 years old are able to submit videos no longer than 90 seconds to describe their project and how it would “positively affect the city of Chicago.”
Chance announced the initiative with Liz Dozier, Chicago Beyond’s managing director, in a Facebook live video on June 14. The organization will be taking submissions until July 7.
