Tyler Perry Gives $1M for Hurricane Harvey Relief; $250K to Joel Osteen’s Church (WATCH)

*We’ve come to expect no less from Tyler Perry. Like he’s done before, in times of need the mogul is once again stepping up.

Yes, Perry’s joining the Hurricane Harvey million dollar club … donating his own cash to relief efforts and spreading it around to charities that could also use a cash infusion AND Joel Osteen‘s Lakewood church, according to TMZ.

Tyler commended the massive relief efforts in Houston … committing to a $1 million gift. He went to bat for Pastor Joel Osteen too, who’s taken heat for not immediately opening the doors to evacuees.

Tyler says he knows Joel well and that’s simply not the case … and he’s giving him $250k to show he’s still got his back.

We also hear that Perry’s giving $250k to Beyonce’s pastor’s church, and will decide who to donate the other $500k to soon. He says wants to make sure it gets directly to the people who need it.
