The Clara Lionel Foundation and Jack Dorsey are donating $2.1 million each to “enable the Mayors’ Fund for Los Angeles.
The funds will provide 10 weeks of support for victims of domestic violence, including shelter, meals and counseling for individuals and their children, according to an announcement on the CLF’s website.
CLF will give $5 million in grants to people working on the front lines against COVID-19, and Rihanna and Jay-Z followed that up with another $1 million each to fight coronavirus.
The $2 million will help to support undocumented workers, imprisoned, elderly and homeless people, and the children of health workers and first responders in both Los Angeles and New York City.
Justine Lucas, executive director of the Clara Lionel Foundation said: “There are a number of populations who are especially vulnerable during this pandemic — those who are undocumented, incarcerated, elderly and homeless, as well as children of frontline health workers and first responders. Now more than ever, we need to support organizations prioritizing the health and rights of these individuals.”
