An official announcement regarding services for Kanye West's mom was still pending as of press time, however, a spokesperson for Howard-Harris Funeral home in Oklahoma City told local news outlet KOCO Channel 5 that the family had contacted them regarding preparations for her funeral.
"In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West's name to:
The Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute.
Those donations can be made by visiting the Foundation's Web site, www.KanyeWestFoundation.org or by mail at:

The family statement also outlined Dr. West's involvement in the Kanye West Foundation before her passing.
"After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country,"
the statement read.
"The first and signature initiative of the Kanye West Foundation is Loop Dreams. Designed to capitalize on students existing interest in hip-hop, Loop Dreams challenges students to learn more about what's behind hip-hop culture in order to help them develop skills, express themselves creatively and be empowered."
