Beyoncé Donates $200K to Indiana Flood Relief Orga...

Beyoncé is lending a hand to the people of Indiana after the state experienced disastrous flooding.

On Monday, Aug. 31, the star’s BeyGOOD Foundation announced on social media that it had donated $200,000 in aid to City Life Center and Angel by Nature for relief efforts.

According to the social media post, the organizations are “on the ground aiding communities most affected following the record flooding caused by a derecho storm that destroyed infrastructure, leaving more than 1000 people unhoused.”

The post continued, “The fund will immediately support critical relief and recovery efforts in the neediest areas, including the city of Gary, providing food, household supplies, and other essential resources to individuals and families impacted by the flooding.”

A derecho, which is a “widespread, long-lived wind storm that is associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms,” according to the National Weather Service, recently struck northern Indiana and resulted in power outages, extensive property damage, and severe flooding. President Donald Trump declared the flooding a major disaster on Aug. 25.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé, 44, surprised-dropped the previously unreleased, fan-favorite song “Morning Dew (Donk)” in July to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her B’Day album. Then, in August, she released a remix of the track featuring her husband, rapper Jay-Z.

When Jay-Z, 56, had his 30th anniversary concert series in July in New York, he brought the “Love on Top” singer out to perform a rendition of “Can’t Knock the Hustle.” The song originally featured Mary J. Blige, but Beyoncé took over for her part.

Beyoncé’s last album release was 2024’s Cowboy Carter, which she followed with her Cowboy Carter Tour.

Following Dolly Parton‘s death on Tuesday, Aug. 25, the “Crazy in Love” singer shared a heartfelt tribute to the country singer on her official website.

“You were the barometer. The North Star. Bold and brilliant. Talented and tenacious,” she wrote. “You taught so many lessons on how to be uniquely oneself.”

“I am grateful for your art, your heart, your generosity, your humor, your entrepreneurship,” she continued. “I’m honored that I had the privilege to work with you. I will treasure that forever. Thank you for your profound impact on the world. You are an angel who has made this world a happier place because of your joyful art. You are truly one of one. Rest peacefully.”

Parton appeared on two Cowboy Carter tracks, “Dolly P” and “Tyrant,” and Beyoncé did a cover of her hit “Jolene” in 2024.
