What Power 2 Inspire Foundation does

Power 2 Inspire Foundation (P2I) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 2013 by music director Ray Chew and music industry executive Vivian Scott Chew to develop young aspiring music creators, producers, singers, songwriters, and future music-industry executives. The foundation is headquartered in Englewood, NJ, where it operates RVMK Studio, an intimate production facility led by Ray Chew that provides alumni with hands-on recording and collaboration space.

Its core offerings consist of three program tracks — the All Access Pass, P2I To-Go, and Power 2 Inspire Live! — anchored by a flagship Internship/Mentorship Program that targets participants aged 18-26 and provides access to industry mentors including Salaam Remi, Greg Phillinganes, Dr. Lynn Richardson, and Denise Brown. The foundation has also created the Lawrence E. Murphy Scholarship Fund, extending its mission beyond music-industry training to college scholarships supporting diversity, inclusion, and equity. Program alumni cohorts from 2020, 2021, and 2022 are publicly featured.

The business model is donation-driven: as a 501c3, the foundation accepts contributions through its website and is operationally embedded within the broader "All Things Chew" ecosystem alongside Chew Entertainment, Ray Chew Live, Timezone International, and the Two Beats One Soul documentary/album project. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no corporate sponsors named in source material, no tuition fees, and no revenue figures. Distribution is regional (New Jersey / New York metro) and delivered through direct program participation supplemented by an owned digital presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
