The foundation has broken down how your donation will be used:

It was earlier this year that the “Wild Thoughts” singer eanred the distinction of Humanitarian of The Year from Harvard University. Toward the end of her speech, she called the crowd to tap into their giving spirit in order to truly bring about change.

“I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart,” said Rihanna. “My grandmother always used to say if you have a dollar, there’s plenty to share.”
