The Kanye West Foundation Shuts Down



Getting away after a busy weekend at the 2011 Coachella Music Festival, Kanye West was spotted at the airport in London, England earlier today (April 20).

The 33-year-old musician kept it casual as he traveled, sporting a pair of Ray-Ban's, black t-shirt, black hoodie, and black pants.

Meanwhile, back at home, it has just come to press that The Kanye West Foundation - which was founded by the rapper's late mother Donda to combat high school drop-out rates - has officially closed.

The charity's former executive director, Joseph Collins, alerted his associates of the news last month, explaining, “I am reaching out to let you know that the Kanye West Foundation has officially closed it doors after a successful 4+ years of programming and events. It has been an incredible experience working with Kanye and the board to realize his mother’s vision and I am honored to have been given the opportunity to lead the Foundation."
