Beyoncé has promised to donate $2 million to assist students and small business owners affected by the COVID-19 pandemic during her world tour.

BeyGOOD, founded by global cultural icon Beyoncé in 2013, is now the BeyGOOD Foundation – a 501 public charity – dedicated to supporting people and programs around the world. In the last decade, BeyGOOD has been making a difference in communities through initiatives such as scholarships, relief efforts, and career development in the US, Africa, Europe, South America, and the Caribbean.



This year, the BeyGOOD Foundation responded to the global public health crisis with the Black Parade Route – a dedication to highlighting and supporting Black-owned small businesses in the US and abroad. Through this initiative, more than 900 small businesses have been provided with grants and/or featured on social media.



“It has been beyond fulfilling to be of service,” said the founder of BeyGOOD. “Now, as a foundation, we will continue the work of engaging partners through innovative programs to impact even more people.”

The BeyGOOD Foundation is dedicated to economic equity and education, helping to improve the lives of marginalised and under-resourced communities. The Foundation is committed to supporting one thousand small businesses through the Black Parade Route, with one million dollars allocated to each luncheon held in various cities along Beyoncé's RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR. Each business will receive a five-star inspirational afternoon, with networking opportunities and the potential to be a grant recipient from the $100k funds.

BeyGOOD, the initiative founded by global cultural icon, Beyoncé, in 2013, to support people and programs around the world, has now evolved into the BeyGOOD Foundation, a 501 public charity. In the past decade, BeyGOOD has been dedicated to helping those in need by providing assistance with education, disaster relief, food, water, housing scarcity, mental health, and career development in the United States, Africa, Europe, South America, and the Caribbean.



This year, Beyoncé has taken her humanitarian efforts even further by launching the Black Parade Route to highlight and financially support Black-owned small businesses in the US and abroad. By providing grants and/or highlighting them on social media, the initiative has already made a huge difference in the lives of over 900 entrepreneurs.



“I am hugely proud of the work we have done over a decade at BeyGOOD, here in the US and around the world,” said Beyoncé, the founder of BeyGOOD. “From scholarships to the water crisis in Burundi, to helping families during Hurricane Harvey in my hometown, Houston, it has been beyond fulfilling to be of service. Now as a foundation, we will continue the work of engaging partners through innovative programs to impact even more people.”
