Live 4 Love Charities
Designed in honor of Prince’s philanthrophic mission to drive better outcomes for humanity
Our vision
By 2029, Live 4 Love Charities will unify Prince Rogers Nelson’s passionate causes through creative empowerment, making lasting change for future generations. We envision communities where music and arts are vital to social development – not just as enrichment, but as essential tools that foster whole-brain learning, self-confidence, and ingenuity. Through our distinctive approach integrating arts education with core academics, we will create more caring communities where youth can express themselves, lift their spirits, and fulfill their dreams.
Our goal
We strive to drive better outcomes for humanity by funding charitable causes aligned with Prince’s core values. As a dedicated nonprofit platform, we inspire positive societal impact through programs that strengthen communities and preserve access to transformative arts education—creating a more caring world through creative empowerment. Live 4 Love Charities is not just any nonprofit, it is a lifestyle.

Helping people up and helping people out
Why We Focus on Music & Arts
L4L is an advocate for music and arts, not just resulting from a passion for music and arts themselves, but rooted in a belief that when schools decide to eliminate these classes due to budget cuts, students are negatively affected more than many seem to realize. We believe that examining what is currently being taught and applying what can be learned from the “STEAM” model (which adds “Arts” to the traditional “STEM” approach), there will be a tremendous positive impact on student achievement, community strength and financial solvency. L4L envisions communities where music and the arts are vital to social development, and represent a positive alternative for youth dealing with stress and peer pressure.
Our programs
As a grant-making foundation, L4L’s mission is to provide grants to deserving nonprofit programs that promote such music and arts programs within our target audience, which may be directed toward scholarships; musical instruments and art supplies; and/or tuition/fees for music and arts classes, including but not limited to the following:
Providing grants to ensure that kids, parents and educators have access to workshops, programs, tools and other resources to heighten awareness of and to provide solutions for music and arts educational programs (i.e., student concerts, music recordings, video production).
Engaging with the entire school community, including students and parents, to develop arts-related policies and best practices and goals, along with reporting procedures and a follow-up system for monitoring progress and improving outcomes.
Supplying musical instruments, arts supplies and other educational resources that teach kids how to tap into their creative potential, create artistic works, and teach parents how to encourage and support their kids’ artistic endeavors, while immersed in STEM subjects.
Guiding parents, educators, and health professionals to recognize artistic talent, cultivate creativity, and foster inclusive environments through interactive programs, role-playing, and discussions that build confidence, encourage empathy, and promote diversity appreciation.
We’re supposed to take care of each other
