“The process of acquiring recommendations [for nonprofits] was collaborative and inspired by the message that speaks to racial and social inequities and injustice in our society,” Roc Nation’s managing director of philanthropy, Dania Diaz, told Mic. “Each year we will support a different initiative. Our ideology is to have a hifi level of consciousness in everything we do.” The charities will receive the money later this month.
