Access Philanthropy

The Mackenzie Desk

August 29, 2021 by Mary Anne Welch

“

— “A Bloomberg News survey accounting of $4.3 billion in 375 grants to nonprofits reveals for the first time how the philanthropist (Mackenzie Scott) is directing her charitable might.”

— Mackenzie Scott, Melinda French Gates (and other funders) launched the Equality Can’t Wait Challenge, which will award $40 million for gender equity by 2030. Three priorities: 1) Dismantle the barriers that hold women back., 2) Fast tracking women in critical sectors, and 3) Call society to action.

— The online newsletter, The Conversation has an interesting comparison between Scott’s gifts to historically black colleges and universities and gifts by earlier donors

— BTW remember the “Mackenzie Scam,” sort of like the anonymous prince scam, “send us your bank account # and we’ll send you a billion dollars.” Our clients received such emails, it’s real.
