He still hasn’t spoken to the Illinois governor.
Chance The Rapper announced he’s raised $2.2 million for Chicago Public School at a press conference at the city’s Paul Robeson High School today, Pitchfork reports.
In a speech discussing his efforts to support CPS, Chance revealed that since he’d donated $1 million, additional donates more than doubled it. The Chicago Bulls matched his donation, while others included Scooter Braun, manager to Kanye West and Justin Bieber, and comedian Hannibal Buress

He also announced the New Chance Arts and Literature Fund which he explained “will bring arts programs and materials to schools.” The fund is a collaboration with the Children’s First Fund and Ingenuity and will “begin investing dollars and material resources into Chicago Public Schools beginning this fall for the 2017-2018 school year.”
Taking questions, he also revealed he has not spoken to Illinois governor Bruce Rauner since their meeting last month.
