Our Story

Founded in 2001 by multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY® award winning artist, entrepreneur and actor, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, The Ludacris Foundation (TLF) is our platform to serve youth and families in our communities.

We inspire urban youth to live their dreams and envision new possibilities for their lives through experiences we create through our programs and partnerships. We work with celebrities, artists and non-profit organizations in major cities across the country to showcase leadership and examples of success. Our relationships with inner city schools, Boys & Girls Clubs and business, community, religious and government leaders help us provide resources, experiences and tools to help youth live their dreams.

Ludacris, the Foundation, Disturbing Tha Peace Records (DTP) and Ebony Son have a deep-rooted tradition of community service and the Foundation was established to sustain our commitment to make a difference in the lives of youth. We operate throughout Atlanta and provide programs in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Washington, DC that uplift families and bring resources to communities.
