MacKenzie Scott has given out billions to charity. Recipients think it’s a joke.

A recent Bloomberg investigation tracked down 375 of those grants, worth $4.3B.

For ~90% of the recipient organizations, Scott’s donations were the largest they’ve ever received — ranging from $750k-$60m.

Some recipients thought emails from Scott’s team notifying them of the gifts were phishing scams — which, to us, sounds like a completely reasonable thought.
