"MacKenzie Scott's Generosity Soars: $640 Million Donated to Nonprofits"

MacKenzie Scott, the billionaire philanthropist, has decided to donate $640 million to 361 nonprofit organizations, more than double her initial plan, in response to an "open call" for applications managed by Lever for Change. The grants range from $1 million to $2 million and focus on supporting community-led organizations with missions to advance the voices and opportunities of individuals and families of meager or modest means. Since 2019, Scott has given away $16.5 billion and launched a database of her giving under the name Yield Giving, aiming to share information about her philanthropic efforts.
