Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $640 million to 361 nonprofit groups, she announced Tuesday.
Scott, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos and a co-founder of Amazon, has been keeping good on her word to donate at least half of her wealth to charity as part of the Giving Pledge.
The latest round of donations, which varied from gifts of $1 million to $2 million, were awarded to nonprofit groups across the country with a variety of focuses — the arts, affordable housing, education, public health, immigration and diversity.
