The Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund is back—and now, it's nationwide.
We’re proud to announce that Cécred and the BeyGOOD Foundation launched the second iteration of the Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund, deepening the investment in the beauty industry and the professionals who bring it to life. This year, the Fund is available nationwide—expanding reach, empowering stylists, fueling entrepreneurship, and honoring the vital role salons play in their communities.
With a $500,000 commitment, the Fund will focus on two initiatives: providing capital and business development to salons and scholarships to cosmetology students.
