Beyonce donates $6 million to mental health facilities 

Beyonce is donating $6 million to fund the mental health facilities amid the coronavirus pandemic, a report said on Friday.

The 38-year-old singer has partnered with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s #startsmall to provide multi-million fund.

“"Beyonce's BeyGOOD recognises the immense mental and personal health burdens being placed on essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic," read the the organisation's official statement. 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," said a statement issued her organization.

The singer has also teamed up with the National Alliance in Mental Illness to provide support in Houston, New York and New Orleans.
