According to necolebitchie.com:

Schools in Philly have been having a hard time lately since the city was hit heavy with budget cuts that left students  lacking in their education, so Kevin Hart decided to step up in a major  way.

Yesterday, he donated $250,000 to the Philadelphia Public School System to  assist in the purchase of 500 computers.  Just this past summer 24 schools were shut  down and thousands of people were laid off in Philly due to the budget cuts,  and  in September a student died because she had an asthma attack at school and  there  was no nurse on staff to help her.

In an radio interview Kevin  said:

I felt like the city was in a time of  need. I feel like it’s good to step up and show kids that regardless of where  I’m at in my life now, I once sat in the same seat they sit in.  This city  made me. So, me reaching back is me showing them, you have the same opportunity  that I had, and it’s just time to make the best of it. You’re not alone. You  have people like me that care and hopefully me doing what I’m doing will  provoke  other people to step up and do the same and help out when they  can.
