Starting on Tuesday, October 10th, Lyft has announced that riders in the Chicago metropolitan area will be given the option to round up their fare as a donation to Chicago Public Schools via Chance the Rapper’s new Arts & Literature fund. Since it’s inception in March 2017, the program has raised over $2.2 million in support of community arts programs across some of Chicago’s most underprivileged neighborhoods.
This is hardly the first time Chance has lent a helping hand to the city: it was just earlier this year that the Chicago native donated $1 million of his own money to CPS.
In order to participate, Chicago residents must simply go the the ‘Settings’ tab of the Lyft mobile app, tap ‘Round Up & Donate’, and choose CPS: The New Chance Fund as their chosen beneficiary.
To donate to CPS via Chance’s SocialWorks program outside of Lyft go here.
Now get out there and get riding!
