Diddy donated $2 million to two causes in 24 hours.

It was an exciting weekend for Black people, especially when it comes to finances. Atlanta was the place to be, with people coming together to talk about financial education. And Sean “Diddy” Combs was doing his part to help build Black wealth - he made two huge announcements in just 24 hours.

According to XXL, Diddy made a significant donation of $2 million while at InvestFest at the Georgia World Congress Center. He announced a $1 million investment fund in partnership with ‘Earn Your Leisure’ founders Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings. The money will be used to create investment strategies, and show others what economic empowerment looks like.

Diddy was thrilled to team up with Earn Your Leisure. "We’re going beyond discussing finances and taking action to demystify the world of investing for our community," he said. Any profits from the fund will go to the three Capital Preparatory charter schools in New York and Connecticut that he started.

The second donation from Diddy was to the Jackson State University Football team. This took place while he was attending the Cricket MEAC-SWAC Challenge Kickoff. The funds are coming from the Sean Combs Foundation, which he promised to do when he received his BET Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Supporting historically Black colleges and universities is crucial to preserving their legacy and ensuring they continue to change lives," Diddy said. "This donation to Jackson State is not just a financial contribution; it’s an investment in the future of our culture."

Diddy donated $1 million to Jackson State during their season opener. He said, "If it wasn’t for HBCUs I wouldn’t be here... Supporting HBCUs isn’t just my honor, it’s my responsibility."

The mogul is making major moves - he's releasing his new music project, "The Love Album: Off the Grid," on September 15th. And he'll be right back in Atlanta later that month for Revolt World, taking place from September 22nd to 24th.
