Founded in 2009, M.U.R.A.L., was formerly known as the Lupe Fiasco Foundation. The acronym M.U.R.A.L. stands for Magnifying Urban Realities & Affecting Lives. Deemed one of the “Top Organizations to Save Chicago” by XXL Magazine, M.U.R.A.L., has served hundreds of youth throughout the city of Chicago. The impact the organization has made in the city has created and supported youth empowerment organizations such as Project Orange Tree, launched food & liquor neighborhood campaigns, coat drives and more.
The organization’s original mission was to provide warm meals and coats to families in need quickly expanded to include music education, curriculum and a host of other arts-based initiatives in Chicago inner-city communities.
