CBS has hired the consulting firm Rally to help disperse $20 million US to groups dedicated to supporting #MeToo and promoting workplace safety and equality for women.

The announcement comes less than a month after the company parted ways with longtime CEO Les Moonves after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

CBS expects to announce the recipients of the funds by Dec. 14.
