Dave Chappelle Donates $50,000 From Michigan Show To Flint Foundation

Dave Chappelle is putting his money where his mouth is and donating $50,000 to a local Flint, Michigan foundation.

The comedian donated all of the proceeds from his June 7 comedy show in Flint to The Community Foundation of Greater Flint, TMZ reports. Established in 1988, the foundation has provided people with “philanthropic interests to easily and effectively support the issues they care about - immediately or through their will.”

“I’m honored that you guys came here tonight,” Chapelle said to the June 7 audience. “I want you to know that just by coming to see me you supported this city. I’m not taking a dime.”

Dave Chappelle SNL opening monologue on race and Donald Trump

David Chappelle finally appeared on Saturday Night Live and delivered one of the most thoughtful, somber, and funny opening monologues in the show's history. He discussed issues or race and the election of Donald Trump. It's a message many need to hear. WARNING, he does use the N-word several times. I wished he hadn't but it's his monologue not mine. Watch his insightful 11 minute monologue below.
