""This dollar total will likely be reported in the news, but any dollar amount is a vanishingly tiny fraction of the personal expressions of care being shared into communities this year," Scott wrote in an essay published Tuesday. "To use just one year in the United States as an example, the total donated to US charities of all kinds in 2020 was $471 billion, nearly a third of it in increments of less than $5,000.""
"Her largest disclosed donations this year, according to her organization Yield Giving, include: Blackfeet Community College: $80 million Projeto Saúde e Alegria: $80 million Filantropía Puerto Rico: $80 million Thurgood Marshall College Fund: $70 million HSF: $70 million UNCF (United Negro College Fund): $70 million Prairie View A&M University: $63 million North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University: $63 million California State University, Northridge: $63 million Morgan State University; $63 million Howard University: $63 million"
MacKenzie Scott donated $7.2 billion this year, raising her total since 2020 to $26 billion and more than 2,700 gifts. Gifts reached over 180 organizations with emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, education, disaster recovery, and humanitarian causes. Many donations were the largest single gifts ever received by recipient organizations. Major disclosed grants include multiple $80 million gifts and numerous $63–$70 million awards to historically Black colleges and other institutions. Scott noted that aggregate dollar totals are only a small fraction of personal expressions of care and cited $471 billion given to US charities in 2020.
