Dave Chappelle is putting his money where his mouth is and donating $50,000 to a local Flint, Michigan foundation.

The comedian donated all of the proceeds from his June 7 comedy show in Flint to The Community Foundation of Greater Flint , TMZ reports . Established in 1988, the foundation has provided people with philanthropic interests to easily and effectively support the issues they care about - immediately or through their will.

Im honored that you guys came here tonight, Chapelle said to the June 7 audience. I want you to know that just by coming to see me you supported this city. Im not taking a dime.

In his Netflix special, Chappelle revealed that he decided to opt out of the February 2016 #JusticeForFlint benefit event because he received a last minute invitation from Chris Rock to attend the Academy Awards.

Chappelles benevolent gesture adds to the growing list of celebrities including Eminem , Beyonce , Russell Simmons , Cher , Big Sean , Sean Diddy Combs and Mark Wahlberg who have donated to the citys water crisis.
