In partnership with NAACP, Beyoncé's BeyGOOD foundation (established in 2013) is providing financial relief to Black-owned small businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19.
"Over the last couple of months, the pandemic and outpours for justice throughout the Black community and across the country has been felt in every imaginable area of our lives, including in how our local businesses continue to operate," reads the NAACP's website. "The challenges of Black business owners navigating in the climate cannot be understated, as the effects of uprisings across the nation have led to many businesses being placed in dire straits due to damages and other small business needs."
The organisations are committed to gifting $10,000 grants to eligible businesses in Houston, Atlanta, New York and Minneapolis.
