Houstonians among first winners of $10,000 grant from Beyonce, NAACP
HOUSTON Three Houston business owners are among the first recipients of a new grant from Beyonce and the NAACP. The Houston native's BeyGOOD Foundation partnered with the civil rights group to create the Black-owned Small Business Impact Fund which awards $10,000 grants to Black-owned business owners in select cities. Each of the women told KPRC 2 they are grateful for the funding that will help keep them going during the crisis. Things are picking up and Mathis says she will use the grant money to help open a second location. Applications for the next round of BeyGOOD and NAACP grants begins in September.
