Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour arrives in Las Vegas on August 26, but her BeyGOOD initiative makes a difference in the community year-round.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour 2023 is produced by Parkwood Entertainment and promoted by Live Nation — and kicks off May 10, 2023, at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. The tour will also make international stops in Europe, Edinburgh, Sunderland, Paris, London, Marseille, Amsterdam, Warsaw and more. The tour then continues across North America with shows in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston and more.
As with previous tours, Beyoncé will make an impact offstage, too — with BeyGOOD, the initiative she founded in 2013 to support people and programs around the world. BeyGOOD will continue its legacy of philanthropy, building out this focus on economic equity by supporting organizations that serve marginalized and underserved communities with access to scholarships, opportunities for internships that lead to job placement, and resources to support entrepreneurship.
In various cities throughout the tour, BeyGOOD will support entrepreneurs through Black Parade Route luncheons, celebrating small business owners, with grant opportunities being awarded for a foray of services with global partners to promote business sustainability. One thousand small businesses will be supported with a commitment totaling one million dollars.
BeyGOOD will also support students through scholarship funds that will be given to colleges and universities in ten different cities along the tour. Each school will be given one hundred thousand dollars and will select the student recipients. BeyGOOD’s total scholarship commitment during Renaissance World Tour will be one million dollars.
Working with Beyoncé and the BeyGOOD Foundation, Citi and Verizon will purchase 100 tickets combined in each market across the U.S. touring leg for distribution to local community initiatives.
A noted partner with Beyoncé, Tiffany & Co. is the official jeweler of Renaissance World Tour. Tiffany & Co. has a longstanding commitment to conducting itself responsibly, sustaining the natural environment, prioritizing diversity and inclusion, and positively impacting the communities in which it operates.
