2020 Was the Year the Beauty Industry Really Stepped Up to Make a Difference

In May, Glossier pledged $1 million to the Black community. The brand donated $500,000 to organizations focused on combating racial injustice, while the other $500,000 was used to create grants for Black-owned beauty businesses.

Through the brand's Grant Initiative For Black-Owned Businesses, 16 companies out of nearly 10,000 applicants were selected to receive either $10K, $30K, or $50K in funding to help get their business off the ground.
