Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott continues to stun the world with her generous donations, this time doubling her initial pledge and giving away a whopping $640 million to 361 small nonprofits that responded to an open call for applications. Yield Giving's first-ever round of donations saw awardees receive grants ranging from $1 million to $2 million, creating a path for people working to improve access to resources in their communities. In her own words, Scott expressed her gratitude to those involved, stating, "They are vital agents of change." Despite having donated $16.5 billion from her fortune, Scott continues to redefine philanthropy, with many praising her for finding people doing good work, providing resources, and then stepping aside. This revolutionary approach to philanthropy underlines her commitment to lifting others as she continues to honor her pledge to give away most of her massive wealth.
