Beyoncé’s Foundation Donates $120K To Small Businesses In Atlanta
Beyoncé’s three nights of touring in the city of Atlanta included some philanthropy as she donated $120,000 to 12 lucky small businesses.
The singer’s BeyGOOD Foundation surprised a dozen metro Atlanta small businesses with $10,000 grants that came as part of the singer’s “Black Parade Route Small Business Impact Luncheon,” Fox 5 Atlanta reports.
The event included a special fireside chat with Tyler Perry who shared words of wisdom and encouragement to the small business owners along with a special performance by Grammy Award-winning singer Le’Andria Johnson.
“Tears, joy, laughter, excitement filled the jam-packed Atlanta ballroom,” the foundation captioned a recap Instagram post.
The lucky businesses who received the grants include KidStance LLC, Everything Digital Production, The Hardy Clinic, QTP LLC DBA Queens Tea Party, Visionful Solutions, LLC, Jazzy Jaye LLC, Moxie Group, Restore More, It’s Baked Baby, Youth-N-Action, Star Studded Production, and Battery Express.
“Truly blessed to have been in such a uplifting and empowering space.
Tyler Perry prayed over our businesses…y’all?!?!” one attendee shared in the comments.
“Words can’t express the gratitude I have for being extended this opportunity to sit under the voice of such wise council!”
“The Holy Spirit moved in that space!!!! I watched the recording of Le’Andria ministering to us…tears again! The anointing…Whew!” added someone else.
The BeyGOOD Foundation has been hard at work with philanthropy efforts amid Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour that’s become the highest-selling tour of her career. In addition to the $120k given to Atlanta small businesses, Bey’s foundation has also pledged $1 million in financial grants and another $1 million in scholarships to 10 different universities.
The “Renaissance” tour is expected to earn the decorated Grammy award-winner nearly $2.1 billion, according to Forbes. The European leg of the world tour earned the “Cuff It” singer $154 Million. Her tour is also helping local economies with her three nights of touring in Atlanta adding $10 million for the local economy.
