MacKenzie Scott unveils Yield Giving with 14 billion in gifts
Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott says Yield Giving has funded more than 1,600 nonprofits since 2019, totaling over 14 billion dollars. She plans an open call process for nonprofits to submit information for evaluation, shifting from a secretive approach to a more transparent giving model. The site highlights yield as producing positive outcomes and surrendering control, reflected in Scott’s new essay and strategy. A notable disclosed gift includes 75 million to Co-Impact for global gender equality and women’s leadership, previously unreported.
