MacKenzie Scott, a billionaire philanthropist and the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is giving $640 million to hundreds of nonprofits, including dozens of organizations that support LGBTQ people. Scott announced Tuesday that the 361 community-led nonprofits were selected from a pool of more than 6,000 applications received since last year, when she first announced that her organization, Yield Giving, was launching an “open call” for nonprofits it could fund.
Rohn added that the organization plans to use some of the funds to support outreach to more rural communities in the state and to its anti-violence program, which provides crisis intervention services, confidential crisis counseling and other advocacy services for LGBTQ victims and survivors of violence and harassment.
