He helped create #YesWeCode, an organization which gives underprivileged kids an entrance into the tech industry.
He was behind “Green For All,” an advocacy group for green energy and social justice.
At the peak of his popularity, he gave a free concert for deaf and blind students
His charity Love 4 One Another worked all over the United States, and he even toured to support them.
Federal tax records that show one of Prince’s charities, Love 4 One Another Charities, has donated millions of dollars to schools, shelters and community programs in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, his native Minneapolis and even Ames, Iowa...Contributions also were given to organizations, schools and facilities in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin and Ohio.
The only bad anyone could rightfully say about this man would be not liking his music ... if his music isn't your thing. He did a lot and all under the radar.

You're right, and it's not widely known because as a Jehovah's Witness, Prince was not allowed to discuss his humanitarian work.

Prince like us all sometimes makes a poor choice but he had heart and a talent and the drive to use it. Was a big influence on music and a few received a blessing he was able to give. He contributed towards a better world and all were blessed by his music. Liked some of the music but not all but that is OK.
