Chance the Rapper proves once again that he'll do anything for his city – especially for Chicago's youth. Last week, the artist and ride-sharing service Lyft announced a partnership in collaboration with SocialWorks, a non-profit co-founded by Chance the Rapper.
The partnership will allow Lyft riders in Chicago to round up their fair to the nearest dollar in an effort to donate to the New Chance: Arts & Literature Fund.
.@Lyft AND @SocialWorks_Chi are teaming up! You can now Use Round Up & Donate, to contribute to New Chance Arts & Literature Fund. The more we ride, the more we raise to #supportCPS . https://t.co/eThgxMHkaa

Chance the Rapper's good deeds seem to never end, and his community is appreciative of his efforts. On top of the new partnership announcement last week, the rapper bought out movie theaters so people can see the movie Marshall for free.
