In May 2017, Minaj offered via Twitter to pay college tuition fees and student loans for 30 of her fans.
She appeared to grant their requests, ranging from $500 to school supplies to $6,000 for tuition, promising to respond to more requests in a month or two.
She also announced that she would launch an official charity for student loans and tuition payments in the near future.
In the same month, Minaj revealed on Instagram that she has been donating money to a village in India for a few years via her pastor, Lydia Sloley.
These donations helped the village get a computer center, a tailoring institute, a reading program, and two water wells. "
This is the kind of thing that makes me feel the most proud", she said about the new additions to the village.

Minaj was praised by The Human Rights Foundation and released a statement saying, "After careful reflection [...] I believe it is important for me to make clear my support for the rights of women, the LGBTQ community and freedom of expression."
In 2020, following the release of Minaj and 6ix9ine's song, "Trollz", Minaj announced, "that a portion of the proceeds from the song, along with profits from all merchandise, will go towards the Bail Project amid the Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the death of George Floyd."
