At this point she’s lowkey becoming one of the most important people in U.S. history. She’s got so much money she can keep donating the rest of her life and still won’t come close to blowing her money

Good stuff. Also credit to the admin. at Alcorn. Her gifts were unrestricted, so each institution decided where the money would be best spent.This lady has done wondrous works
Changed the trajectory of Alcorn State with that money
She's the only billionaire I can think of who is donating the right way (trying to give freely to those who help people the most rather than using her financial power to control their policies), but don't overstate the importance. The money is still a drop in the bucket compared to how much money is out there.
Compare her gifts to the budget for a single year in a single nation's health care system, or a a single nation's education system, or what people pay for housing even in just one month, and you'll see what I mean.
shyt would get ugly if she was. It’d be like KD joining the warriors all over againLets be thanful she isnt maga..
Jeff must be an avid, outspoken racist.
Jeff Bezos’ Ex-wife MacKenzie Scott Is Going Viral for Using Part of Her Fortune to Help Black Maternal Health

After divorcing Jeff Bezos in 2019, MacKenzie Scott has been showing everyone that you can and should donate to important causes, especially when you have money out of the wazoo.
This time, her latest donation is going viral on X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter.
Recently, Scott donated a $2 million grant to the Birthing Beautiful Communities, which is a doula program in Ohio dedicated to Black mothers, babies, and families.
BBC’s President & CEO, Jazmin Long said, via Black Enterprise, “We’re overjoyed and deeply grateful for this transformative gift from MacKenzie Scott’s Yield Giving Open Call. This generous support propels Birthing Beautiful Communities into an exciting new chapter, empowering us to amplify our impact and further our mission of ensuring every mother, baby, and family receives the care and support they deserve.”
Long added, “With this funding, we’re poised to continue transforming maternal health outcomes in Northeast Ohio and beyond, ushering in a future where every birth is a beautiful and healthy experience.”

The CDC revealed over 80 percent of maternal mortality deaths are preventable, and after Roe v Wade was overturned, it’s only worsened.
The organization found that the group most affected by maternal mortality is Black people, saying “Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than White women.” The reason behind this varies, with the biggest issues with lack of quality healthcare, structural racism, and implicit bias, to name a few.

Per Kiplinger, after Scott landed a $38 billion settlement from Bezos, it made her the richest woman in the world. As of 2024, she has given away at least $650 million, gifting $1M to $2M to over 360 nonprofit groups. Along with helping maternal mortality rates decrease, she has donated money to arts, education, affordable housing, public health, and more.
I must say it was a precarious time for that administration. There was immense pressure for the president to spend it. But they stuck to their guns and it has set the institution up for a prosperous future. partly why they are no longer there.

That’s fitting because the people on the frontlines for Amazon are black people.

Wow. Great leadership, that will pay dividends well into the future.
Alumni and non affiliated people see what the leaders do, and don't do with a once in a lifetime donation.
And that will inform their decisions to send their kids there, or donate in the future.
ill admit i dont know much about this lady so im hesitant to heap any praise on her, but i know it has to keep jeff bezos up at night, and for that shes kinda awesome
fukk billionaires. she'd been married to him since 1993 back when he was broke so she's not a gold digger. i think she saw how the money changed and corrupted dude and decided to hit him where it actually hurts: his wallet, by giving away half of his fortune. i love it.
