Lady Gaga sets up charity
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 3 November 2011
Lady Gaga is setting up a charity to support “programmes and initiatives that deal with all aspects of empowering youth”. The new organisation will be called the Born This Way Foundation, and will be overseen by the popstar’s mother Cynthia Germanotta.
Says the Gaga: “My mother and I have initiated a passion project. We call it the Born This Way Foundation. Together we hope to establish a standard of bravery and kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment”.
The new foundation will partner with various other American organisations that work on so called “youth empowerment”, including the MacArthur Foundation and the California Endowment, and the Berkman Center For Internet & Society, which focuses on the power of the internet as a means to promote change.
