Billionaire MacKenzie Scott Increases Support for Open-Border and Pro-Trans Charities
Philanthropy in Action: MacKenzie Scott’s Bold Move
The Power of Giving: MacKenzie Scott’s Generosity
MacKenzie Scott, the renowned author and co-founder of Amazon, has made headlines once again. This time, she has significantly increased her philanthropic commitment, pouring a staggering $640 million into over 360 diverse organizations. While many of these groups engage in traditional charitable work—like feeding the hungry—a considerable number support forward-thinking initiatives dedicated to promoting social equity.
A Focus on Progressive Values
Last year, Scott, who was briefly recognized as the world’s wealthiest woman, made an “open call” for non-profits to reach out for financial support. Her partnership with Lever for Change enabled this grand philanthropic venture, which she praised in a recent public statement.
“From a vibrant pool of over 6,000, these 361 notable non-profits were recognized by peers for their exceptional efforts in amplifying marginalized voices and addressing systemic challenges. My gratitude goes to Lever for Change and the diligent evaluation teams for their dedication to nurturing community growth,” Scott remarked.
The announcement on Yield Giving, Scott’s vehicle for her benevolent impact, details recipients advancing progressive social justice causes, from Black Girl Ventures, the Center for Black Women’s Wellness, to abortion rights champions like Collective Power for Reproductive Justice.
Making a Difference in Diversified Fields
Support flowed to organizations like Openhouse, serving LGBTQ+ seniors, and culture centers such as those in San Francisco and Houston, pivotal for cross-cultural understanding. Highlighted in the disbursement are also entities like the Pacific Center for Human Growth and OutFront Minnesota, offering valuable resources for the trans youth community.
Adding to this suite of advancements, Scott also backed “Gender Justice,” instrumental in advocating healthcare for transgender and nonbinary youth. This reveals a broad spectrum of causes represented in Scott’s donations, spanning from climate activism and environmental stewardship to advocating for equitable immigration policies.
Organizations supporting these diverse angles included “Native Renewables,” the California Environmental Voters Education Fund, and immigrant aid groups like the Florida Immigrant Coalition. These beneficiaries exemplify stunning unity in diversity, tackling fundamental issues from multiple fronts.
