Stormzy founded the #Merky Foundation which fights against racial inequality and advocates for justice reform and black empowerment, as well as #Merky Books, a subsidiary of Penguin Random House UK.

Stormzy first launched the Stormzy Scholarship for British black students in 2018, an initiative he said would serve as a reminder to young black students that the opportunity to study at one of the best universities in the world is theirs to grasp.
