ABOUT
D.O.C. Cares is the nonprofit platform of legendary Hip Hop artist, film maker, Death Row Records co-founder and 2024 Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award winner Tracy "The D.O.C." Curry.
D.O.C. Cares was formed to elevate communities, entrepreneurs and innovators driven by purpose and a sense of possibility to create a world of abundance for future generations in the United States and around the world.
​
We exist to implement solutions that drive positive change in Education, Civic & Community Engagement, Gun Violence Reform, and Financial Equality outcomes.​
EDUCATION
D.O.C. Cares knows that it takes a village to prepare students for success in their communities today, and in universities or the modern workforce tomorrow. We are steadfast in our commitment to equipping students for the careers of the future, and to help them to become critical thinkers, collaborators and lifelong learners.
CIVIC & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
D.O.C. Cares supports civic engagement through programs that focus on building partnerships between schools, families and local organizations, strengthening democracy through local government, and creating more equitable communities.
GUN VIOLENCE & REFORM
D.O.C. Cares takes a public health approach to gun violence prevention, by addressing the unique needs of the community where systemic racism, disinvestments, and trauma occur. Through our network of partner organizations, we endeavor to provide individual and policy advocacy, counseling, education and job training that prioritize our communities' voices in the fight against gun violence.
FINANCIAL EQUALITY
A more just, inclusive, and equitable world is possible when we give everyone an equal chance to achieve their goals. We have prioritized partnerships, methods and means of training and enabling those who create Cultural Capital to generate, manage and grow their Financial Capital.
OUR FIRST EDUCATION INITIATIVE
Dreams Experience Academy: A New Approach to Education with Media, Technology and Innovation
The Dreams Experience Academy represents a pioneering educational initiative designed to provide under-championed youth in Southern Dallas with practical skills and pathways into high-growth industries, such as media, technology, and entertainment
​
Through this initiative, we have developed a curriculum that is as comprehensive as it is innovative, tailored to introduce students to real-world career paths in industries often viewed as out of reach. Supported by seed funding from both the Dallas Regional Chamber and the Dallas Foundation, we’re proud to have secured vital resources that will help bring this ambitious curriculum to life.
