Jack Harlow announces foundation focused on giving back to Louisville

The directors of the organization include Jack and his parents, Brian and Maggie.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jack Harlow can now add philanthropist to his stacked resume. 

The Louisville-based rapper made an announcement on his social media accounts Wednesday that he's launched The Jack Harlow Foundation, which is focused on giving back to Louisville. 

The foundation will serve as the primary philanthropic vehicle to reinvest, uplift, and support organizations aimed at making the city a better place. 

"With all I have done and will do in my career, my home is where my heart is, my refuge, and the place that shaped me. Giving back to Louisville represents the dream I have of making a difference," Jack said. "My vision is to make Louisville a better place. Know that this is just the start of my philanthropic legacy and I look forward to transforming our community and, as a result, the success and happiness of its citizens."

The Jack Harlow Foundation announced gifts to four Louisville-based organizations: the Adelante Hispanic Achievers, Centro Latino, Russell: A Place of Promise, and Sponsors4Success. 

"The launch of my foundation is represented by gifts to 4 organizations that I believe are doing the work of making Louisville a better place; helping under resourced families remove obstacles to higher education, supporting a new start in a neighborhood that has been lacking investment, giving hands on assistance to the poorest of the poor, and making safe housing affordable for families," Jack said.

The directors of the organization include Jack and his parents, Brian and Maggie. 

The announcement of his non-profit organization comes after he dropped his third studio album Jackman on Friday and after his Hometown Heroes banner was put up at the intersection of East Broadway and Barret Avenue.
