Chicago, IL - May 7th, 2025 - Dividend Music Group has announced a $200,000 investment in Chicago youth through the Kam Cares Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering inner city communities with access to vital resources and opportunities. This investment will fund Sound Futures , an innovative new program designed to cultivate the next generation of music industry leaders.

Founded in 2016, the Kam Cares Foundation has made a lasting impact in cities such as Detroit, Chicago, Louisville, and Brooklyn, NY. This latest donation from Dividend Music Group will further expand the foundation's reach and strengthen its commitment to nurturing the next wave of leaders, artists, and innovators in Chicago.

The donated funds will specifically support recording studio access, marketing training, graphic design services for artwork, free distribution to major platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, financial management training, mentorship, brand building, and artist management for all youth selected for the Sound Futures program. This comprehensive initiative is designed to equip young creatives with the skills and resources needed to thrive in the music industry, fostering both artistic growth and entrepreneurial success.

Set to launch in June 2025, the program will run through June 2028, targeting youth ages 12 to 17. The timeline coincides with the academic summer break, a period when young people often lack structured activities and face increased exposure to negative influences. By providing access to creative resources and mentorship during this critical time, Sound Futures aims to offer a positive and constructive outlet that fosters growth, creativity, and opportunity.

As of July 7, 2024, nearly 1,200 shootings had been reported in Chicago, IL, according to the Chicago Police Department. Programs like Sound Futures serve as proactive efforts to engage youth in safe and enriching experiences that can help shape their futures.

Applications for the Sound Futures program are now open and can be found at http://kamcarefdn.org.

Kam Cares founder Keefe Ammons found his own path when he was introduced to baseball a year before attending Simeon Career Academy on the South Side of Chicago. Under the guidance of Hall of Fame coach Leroy Franklin, he went on to win two Chicago Public League titles-an experience that helped steer him toward discipline, leadership, and perseverance.

Following a brief stint in professional baseball, Ammons, now 29, has built an impressive investment portfolio that positions him as a contender for virtually any 30 Under 30 list. His work extends beyond philanthropy-through Dividend Music Group, he has played a role in shaping the careers of artists like Myles Erlick, a Universal Music Group signee, and Paulina Singer, who recently signed with EMPIRE and Noir Fever.

"I'm looking forward to seeing Sound Futures develop. Out of everywhere I've been-both in business and as an athlete-the only thing missing from where I grew up is resources and opportunity," said Ammons. "At least one will have access to both."

Beyond his work in music and philanthropy, Ammons has also represented professional and collegiate athletes, including San Diego Padres prospect Joan Gonzalez and several NCAA athletes navigating Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities.
