So far this year, 17 nonprofits have announced they've received unrestricted donations from MacKenzie Scott through her Yield Giving fund, according to a Chronicle of Philanthropy tally.
'Evil' nurse jailed for murdering seven babiesTo encourage people to focus on the charities rather than on her, Scott has stopped announcing her donations as she had in the past.Given the scale of her giving in previous years, it is likely the 17 announced contributions represent only a portion of what she has actually donated so far this year.
"It was a win for Early Edge to be recognized, and it's the first time in our history that we got a gift of this size," Lozano says."Our work is very specifically around advocacy, so we thought it would be a good thing for us to show our funders and possible partners that we're trusted and recognised."
Some wealthy donors give anonymously because they want privacy and, like Scott, want people to focus on the work of the nonprofit they support. "But what we have with MacKenzie Scott is probably the highest-profile version of it, and because of the level of wealth she has, she is able to give at a scale and a pace that those who have adopted the same practices can't."
