MacKenzie Scott has continued her giving spree to historically Black colleges and universities, and earlier this year she crossed a major milestone.
One of the billionaire philanthropist’s gifts made this spring, a $42 million donation to Elizabeth City State University on the school’s Founders Day in North Carolina, pushed her total giving to HBCUs well past the $1 billion mark. And that’s just part of Scott’s $26 billion philanthropic commitment since 2020, in which she’s donated to thousands of organizations focused on DEI, disaster recovery, community development, health, and environmental causes.
