Philanthropist and Amazon co-founder MacKenzie Scott has made a significant impact with her recent donation of $640 million to 361 nonprofit organizations. This generous contribution is part of Scott's ongoing commitment to give away most of her wealth, which she pledged to do in 2019. To date, she has donated an estimated $12 billion to over 1,200 nonprofit organizations.
For the first time, Scott set up an open call for organizations to apply for a gift through her organization, Yield Giving. The application process focused on supporting organizations that work with individuals and communities facing significant challenges in the United States.
