In its website's Impact Fund description, NAACP is delighted to partner with BeyGOOD to help small businesses and ensure economic empowerment. From months of being distressed due to pandemic and prevalent social injustice, the idea to build the Impact Fund started. The NAACP explained that the struggles of Black business owners navigated in the climate could not be expressed. The effects of the uprisings across the country caused their businesses to be in a terrible situation. To be eligible for the Impact Fund, you must be a Black person who owns a small business or provide property damage estimates. Grants are only applicable for businesses in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, or Minneapolis. The application for BeyGOOD Impact Fund opened on July 9 and will close on July 18. Applications will be in the review process from July 20 to July 29. The list of the selected applicants will be posted Beyonce.com on July 30. In 2013, Beyonce established the BeyGOOD Foundation to encourage the people to be kind-hearted, charitable, and to "BeyGOOD" to themselves, to others and the community. In May, Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mother, helped the singer and her foundation to launch COVID-19 mobile testing relief in Houston after knowing that Black people there were badly affected by the virus. The BeyGOOD Instagram stated, "The campaign has been created to start a movement to encourage black communities to prioritize health in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic."
