Beyonce’s foundation BeyGood announced it’s intention to distribute $5,000 grants to 100 people currently facing evictions or foreclosures. The icon’s charity released the following statement via Instagram saying “As a continuation of the small business-centered first base of the BeyGOOD Impact Fund, the team is giving out grants worth $5,000 to individuals and families who may be facing foreclosures or eviction this holiday season.”

They went on to say “When we were faced with the pandemic caused by COVID-19, BeyGOOD created a plan to make a difference. We assisted organizations across the country that were providing people with basic needs like food, water, household supplies and Covid testing. We also provided mental health support. We then launched our BeyGood small business Impact Fund and to date over 250 small businesses have received $10K grants.” People who wish to apply for the stipend can submit an application to the NAACP starting Jan. 7.
