Since pledging to give away most of her wealth in 2019, MacKenzie Scott has donated an estimated $12 billion to more than 1,200 nonprofit organizations. The writer and philanthropist revealed in March she has handed over $3.9 billion to hundreds of organizations in the last nine months alone. Scott's philanthropy is unique not only because she's giving away large sums of money in a small amount of time but also because of the type of organizations she's choosing, said Tyrone McKinley Freeman, associate professor of philanthropic studies at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy "She really is distinguishing herself as a giver because she's giving away this these large amounts of money to organizations that do not typically have access to these types of donors or these types of gifts," Freeman said, noting her donations come with no strings attached. Though Scott's bigger donations receive the most attention, smaller groups consider the amounts they have received from her large by their standard. In some cases, Scott's donations exceed annual budgets. Click the link in our bio to read more about Scott's donations.
