In a mere 12 months, MacKenzie Scott has dished out $8.6B in philanthropic grants.
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.
