Our Mission

The Proof Legacy Foundation is a Michigan-based non-profit organization dedicated to upholding the enduring legacy and spirit of Proof through a multifaceted approach. Our mission encompasses four distinct pillars of impact:

  1. Empowering Education: We are committed to advocating the significance of education. We achieve this by securing and distributing funds to underprivileged children and those from single-parent households in the form of scholarships. These scholarships support their academic pursuits, especially at Detroit Public Schools, where Proof himself attended, and at various other educational institutions, colleges, and universities.

  2. Fostering Artistic Expression: We nurture the artistic and creative development of inner-city youth aspiring to pursue careers in music. We do this by sponsoring a range of educational and cultural activities, workshops, and field trips that provide them with the tools and inspiration they need to flourish as artists.

  3. Guiding Industry Aspirants: We are dedicated to educating aspiring artists about the intricate business aspects of the entertainment industry. This educational effort includes panel discussions, programs, and seminars that equip them with the knowledge and skills required to navigate the entertainment world successfully.

  4. Supporting Youth Development: We extend financial support to 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that are actively engaged in youth development within Detroit and the surrounding metropolitan areas. This support furthers our goal of creating a brighter future for the youth in our community.

At the Proof Legacy Foundation, we are driven by a passion for preserving Proof's memory and ensuring that his impact on education, music, and the entertainment industry lives on. Our organization stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the youth of Detroit, promoting their growth and success in every way possible."
