Rihanna and Jay-Z donate $1 million each to COVID-19 response

Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation is donating $1 million in grants toward COVID-19 response - a number that is being matched by Jay-Z’s Shawn Carter Foundation. The combined $2 million will support undocumented workers, the children of front-line health workers and first responders and the incarcerated, elderly and homeless populations in New York City and Los Angeles.

Last week, the Clara Lionel Foundation gave $5 million to the response efforts against the coronavirus, with the money going to food banks, testing, healthcare worker training, virus prevention and distribution of critical respiratory supplies.
