Rihanna is the queen of philanthropy. Wherever there’s a need, she puts her well earned dollars towards the cause, and brings her celebrity to draw attention to the cause. Domestic violence is a terrible problem that has increased since coronavirus sheltering.

To help victims of domestic violence amid coronavirus in Los Angeles, Rihanna has stepped forth through her Clara Lionel Foundation with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to donate $2.1M each to the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles.

The $4.2M grant will provide shelter, food, and counseling for victim families. Being in close quarters, and with important services on hold, the need for this donation is immense right now. Around 90 people per week were turned away from L.A. domestic violence shelters that are full at this time.

In response with their donation, the pair made the statement… “Victims of domestic violence exist all over the world, so this is just the beginning.” This marks $7.1M in coronavirus relief donations Rihanna has made, and we are sure it will not be the last. Stay tuned as we document, and get involved in coronavirus relief efforts.
