The Foundation exists to honor his legacy, transforming grief into growth, pain into purpose, ensuring his light continues to inspire and uplift the next generation of creatives.
We believe what David believed:
- That young people need space, mentorship, and resources to create and thrive
- That Chicago’s creatives deserve to be elevated and celebrated
- That through the power of expression, artists have the potential to shape the world
David saw what the world often missed: the brilliance and power of his city and his peers. He wanted to build something lasting - a creative ecosystem rooted in equality, opportunity and love for his culture.
He didn’t get to finish that work, but we can.
Through funding, mentorship, and creative community building, your donation helps us uplift the next generation of artists and visionaries. Those who - like David - believe in the power of expression and the importance of being seen and supported.
