Billionaire philanthropist and author MacKenzie Scott announced Tuesday she is giving $640 million to 361 small nonprofits that responded to an open call for applications.
Yield Giving’s first round of donations is more than double what Scott had initially pledged to give away through the application process. Since she began giving away billions in 2019, Scott and her team have researched and selected organizations without an application process and provided them with large, unrestricted gifts.
In a brief note on her website, Scott wrote she was grateful to Lever for Change, the organization that managed the open call, and the evaluators for “their roles in creating this pathway to support for people working to improve access to foundational resources in their communities. They are vital agents of change.”
She needs to deposit 10k only my bank account. That’ll take care of my rent for 6 months.
It’s crazy how little it would take to change all our lives.
Mere 2k would put me so far ahead, it’s basically 2 years worth of saving.
And then you try to comprehend what a billion is like and it’s intangible. A million we can imagine, it’s a fancy ass house. But a billion? I simply can’t imagine how much money that is.
ya know the difference between a billion and a million?
About a billion.
20 fancy ass houses in every single state in the USA. I’d never thought of it that way until now and that’s obscene.
A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 32 years.
Coffee break, vacation, career, two thirds of the time humans have been around: thousand, million, billion, trillion
(Roughly)
She needs to be my sugar mommy. That will take care of my whole life.
I’ll take that, too
