Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott's recent open call for nonprofits has shed some light on her giving patterns, experts say. Scott's grants, announced in March, align with her usual themes, focusing on equity and justice, education, health, economic security, and democracy. Notably, a larger percentage of the most recent grants went to democracy-focused organizations.
According to the database of gifts on her Yield Giving website, organizations working on 'race and ethnicity' and 'youth development' received the most significant support. While Scott has historically favored organizations in the U.S. South, the latest round saw California and New York as the states with the most recipient nonprofits.
