Chance The Rapper raised the most cash for worthy causes in 2017 according to Celebs Gone Good, a yearly poll compiled by US charity body Do Something.
He usurped last year’s winner Beyoncé from the top spot after he raised $3 million for schools in his native Chicago, along with the launch of his New Chance Arts & Literature Fund, an investment in arts programs in Chicago schools.
American footballer Colin Kaepernick is runner-up, following his reported pledging of $1 million to various charities. He is also acknowledged for his part in opening up the debate about police brutality and racial injustice across the USA.
