The All Stars Project Inspires Hip-Hop Artist Lecrae

Two-Time Grammy® Winner Mentors Inner City Youth at National Non-Profit Dedicated to Transforming Lives Through the Developmental Power of Performance.

New York, NY, USA (July 14, 2015) — Grammy® Award-winning hip-hop artist Lecrae‘s visit to the 42nd Street headquarters of the All Stars Project last year – to meet and mentor the inner city young people engaged in the organization – turned into so much more than expected. The All Stars Project has released a video of Lecrae’s inspiring visit. Produced by Diane Mayer in partnership with MTV, the video can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/cG5UjPW04N4.

A privately funded national nonprofit organization founded in 1981, the All Stars Project transforms the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults. The All Stars Project involves over 10,000 young people every year in its afterschool programs in six cities across the country.

In a conversation facilitated by Antoine Joyce, Senior Program Manager/Development Officer for the All Stars Project Dallas, Lecrae shared that growing up he turned to hip-hop to find purpose, but instead found a lifestyle that included gang life, drugs and alcohol. After turning his own life around, he is now known for his music and outreach to inner-city youth. Lecrae has sold over two million albums, and his latest, Anomaly, debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 and across several other sales charts as well.

The All Stars youth in attendance then introduced themselves to Lecrae and spoke about their personal experiences and hardships growing up. They shared how life-changing their involvement in the All Stars Project has been, and let Lecrae know that his music supported their choice to be positive and move forward.

Afterward, Lecrae said of his participation, “I was brought out to inspire, but left inspired.”

Concepts For Non-Profts In Promoting Finances

Nowadays, many non-profit organizations need fresh ideas in fundraising. It is because many of us are having a difficult time when it comes giving away our hard earned money. In fact, even the old ideas in fundraising have grown stale, many people find these ideas uninteresting and not worth their time. Now the question to be asked is: “How to raise money and still keep people interested?” With this article, NPOs will know how they can do it.

It is important that the event NPOs will hold follows the organization’s missions and goals so that they could attract more audience. Furthermore, if they have a popular speaker that they could ask to work for free then the event could attract more crowds even if the crowd would have to pay for tickets just to attend the event. When NPOs host events like concerts and shows where they can sell tickets and raise funds, they ask famous actors or famous singers to perform for free.

NPOs can even collect items that can be put on auction says Start a Non Profit Organization. This fundraising event is among the most successful fundraising ideas and it is among the most popular ideas as well. NPOs can still sell items for fundraising. These items have to be similar from those sold at a grocery store but it would be better if these items are handcrafted and are cheaper than the regular ones.

Fundraising events will not be successful without the public knowing; there should be ads on radio, television or perhaps the Internet. NPOs can then ask for any amount of donation and provide small incentives so that individuals are encouraged to donate. NPOs can conduct contests and promote it with advertisements so that more people are encouraged in joining the contest. Of course, any friendly competition will do such as a baking contest, literary contest or even sports.

However, not every competition is a contest of acquired skills. One fine contest would be holding a contest between followers of the NPO regarding who can raise the most amount of money. The winner of the competition must have a prize but that prize must be within the budget scope of the organization. It would be a whole lot better if the prizes were donated by certain companies or individuals.

If there is enough manpower and time, NPOs can host large events such as bazaars where they can invite different companies to join and sell their products. Well, since the event is for a just cause, businesses must agree to pay a certain amount or donate some of their profit to the NPO. As long as the event is properly organized, everything will be as smooth as silk.
