**Beyoncé's** been doing what she can to boost Black-owned businesses across America.

The superstar has announced an additional $1 million in grants for the Black Owned Small Business Impact Fund - a program started through her [**BeyGOOD**](https://www.beyonce.com/beygood/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) foundation and the [**NAACP**](https://naacp.org/black-owned-business-impact-fund/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) in July this year.

The fund has already distributed 20 grants of $10,000 each to bakers, hairdressers, martial arts schools, photography studios and more.

The additional funding from Queen Bey means hundreds of businesses can now receive a little extra support.

Earlier this year, **Beyoncé** spoke out about the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on Black Americans and through her foundation,[ arranged for free COVID-19 testing](https://celebritykind.ghost.io/tina-knowles-lawson-teams-up-with-beyonces-foundation-to-offer-mobile-covid-19-testing-in-houston/) in her home city of Houston.

She's also written [an open letter to the Kentucky Attorney General](https://celebritykind.ghost.io/content/files/2026/09/beyonce-seeks-justice-for-breonna-taylor-in-powerful-letter-to-kentucky-attorney-general.html) demanding justice for **Breonna Taylor** who was shot by police carrying out a no-knock warrant at the wrong address *and* [used her platform](https://www.instagram.com/p/CAy-W0cAvWV/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) to keep the spotlight on the countless Black lives lost due to police brutality.
