Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation has committed $15 million to organizations fighting for climate justice in the United States and the Caribbean.
The charitable offering was made on Tuesday in partnership with Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey’s #StartSmall initiative.
According to a press statement, the grants will benefit groups that “are focused on and led by women, youth, Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+ and people of colour to accelerate climate justice for those at greatest risk.”
Rihanna, a native of Barbados, was named a National Hero of the Caribbean island last November.
At the time, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley applauded the pop star’s service to her home country, “pioneering leadership” and “extraordinary achievement.”
Also on Tuesday, the ANTI singer celebrated the opening of her first brick-and-mortar Savage X Fenty store in Las Vegas.
