Kanye West Foundation closes
The Kanye West Foundation, a charity founded by his late mother to help combat the high school dropout rate by providing music production programs for under-served youth, closed last month.
The New York Times obtained an email its former executive director, Joseph Collins, sent to associates in March. "I am reaching out to let you know that the Kanye West Foundation (kanyewestfoundation.org) has officially closed it doors after a successful 4+ years of programming and events," Collins wrote.

Collins declined to comment for the Times. A rep for West has not returned EW's request for comment.
