With Prince’s birthday last week, former Paisley Park employees have launched a new foundation in his honor.
The nonprofit PRN (Prince Rogers Nelson) Alumni Foundation is dedicated to aiding the causes and charities that Prince supported during his lifetime.
Former Paisley Park Enterprises president Craig Rice said in a statement that "Prince’s philanthropic activities are an important component of his legacy. Therefore, our goal is to continue supporting the charitable initiatives that were important to him. His financial generosity, most often anonymous, helped provide opportunities for underprivileged youth to pursue their dreams in music, the arts and education."
