The Weeknd recently donated $250,000 to the Black Lives Matter Network, two sources familiar with the situation told The FADER on Wednesday.
The donation came after news last weekend that the singer gave $50,000 to The University Of Toronto in order to fund a new Ethiopic Studies program. The Black Lives Matter Network describes itself as "a chapter-based national organization working for the validity of Black life." It has a branch in The Weeknd's hometown of Toronto.
