"It brought tears to my eyes seeing this little baby and seeing her flourish,"
"Selfishly, it fills my heart meeting these families. It really, really does."
"It makes a huge impact because places like Community of Hope can do what they want with it, like... buy them sheets, buy the kids toys, buy them outfits to wear-all of the things that we as moms can take for granted,"
"But they are really important to get them moving in the right direction."
Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Jeff Bezos donated $102.5 million in grants to 32 U.S. nonprofits focused on family homelessness and support services. The gifts are part of the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund, which has given more than $850 million to organizations across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam. The Day 1 Fund, founded in 2018, made a $2 billion commitment to both support existing homeless-family nonprofits and to build and operate tuition-free preschools in under-resourced communities. Community of Hope in Washington, D.C. received $5 million in 2018 and $3.75 million in 2023. Grants are unrestricted and can be used according to each organization's needs.
