The Presley Charitable Foundation is an organization created by Lisa Marie Presley (Elvis Presley's daughter) in August 2007.
Elvis Presley known as the king of rock and roll made a lot of charities in his life, most of them as donations to charity foundation and also he made benefit shows to collect money for those who need.
After Elvis died in 1977, her daughter started The Presley Charitable Foundation in the name of her father to keep helping people in the United States.
The foundation provides:
- Rent-free housing
- Child day care
- Career and financial counseling
- Family management guidance
- Tools which help people learn how no longer be homeless again
The next project of the Elvis's foundation will be a new Presley Place in New Orleans that consists in a transitional housing facility for homeless families and will follow the model of the the first Presley Place in Memphis, Tennessee which opened its doors in 2001
In 2007, Lisa Presley recorded with her father a duet of "In the ghetto" as a tribute to her father in his 30th anniversary of his death which reached number one in Itunes in countries line Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, Germany and New Zealand
The proceeds from the sale of the song went directly to The Presley Charitable Foundation.
