Beyonce made a major announcement this morning.

The superstar singer’s BeyGOOD has partnered with Jack Dorsey’s #startsmall to provide $6 million in relief funding to various organizations providing mental health wellness services with help from UCLA.

The newly-annouonced initiative is also partnering with the National Alliance in Mental Illness (NAMI) to offer local support in Houston, New York, New Orleans and Detroit.

The following organizations will be participating: United Memorial Medical Center, Bread of Life, Mathew 25 and others.

In a press release, it says that the organization “recognizes the immense mental and personal health burdens being placed on essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In our major cities, African-Americans comprise a disproportionate number of workers in these indispensable occupations, and they will need mental health support and personal wellness care, including testing and medical services, food supplies and food deliveries, both during and after the crisis.”
