MacKenzie Scott made multiple large donations to historically Black colleges and universities this fall, including $50 million to Winston-Salem State University, $80 million to Howard University, and $19 million to Voorhees University. The $50 million gift is the largest in Winston-Salem State's 133-year history and builds on a prior $30 million donation. The $19 million gift is the largest in Voorhees University's history and follows a $4 million 2020 contribution. Scott's current net worth is roughly $36 billion, and she has pledged to give away most of her wealth, having donated over $19 billion so far.
