Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott is once again giving away millions. On Tuesday, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) announced it had received a $60 million gift from Scott and her organization, Yield Giving, which has donated more than $19 billion to thousands of organizations.
The gift to CDP, which supports recovery from natural disasters in struggling communities lacking in resources, comes on the heels of the Trump administration’s cuts to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)—an organization Americans rely on for help during and after hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and floods.
