At Live4Love Charities, we’re on a mission to spotlight those who uplift their communities through creativity, compassion, and purpose. Each month, our 10 for 12 Program honors one changemaker with a $10,000 gift to fuel their impact.
This month, we’re thrilled to celebrate Amped in Louisville, Kentucky—a powerhouse of music, mentorship, and economic empowerment.
Amped was built to amplify Black and Brown voices and build generational wealth through the arts, technology, and entrepreneurship. Their programs offer:
🎧 Free music education and studio access
💻 Tech training and digital literacy
🏦 Financial empowerment and business incubation
🌱 A safe, nurturing space where creativity and community thrive
From beat-making to business plans, Amped equips young people with the tools to dream boldly and build sustainably. Their work is rooted in love, equity, and the belief that every voice deserves to be heard—and every future deserves to be funded.
💬 “We’re not just teaching skills,” says founder Dave Christopher Sr “We are building legacies.”
Amped’s Russell Technology Business Incubator is one of the first of its kind, supporting Black and Latino entrepreneurs with mentorship, resources, and access to capital. Their Music Academy opens doors for youth to explore sound, storytelling, and self-expression—all at no cost.
That vision echoes the legacy of Prince, whose belief in the transformative power of the arts inspired the creation of Live4Love Charities. Amped is living proof that when creativity meets opportunity, entire communities rise.
Join us in celebrating Amped’s incredible work—and stay tuned as we continue to spotlight changemakers across the country. 💜
