Collaborative for Children Houston receives unexpected $3M gift from billionaire MacKenzie Scott
announced on Wednesday that Scott has donated $3 million to the Houston-based nonprofit dedicated to early childhood education.
Scott, whose current net worth is valued at $57 billion following her divorce from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, pledged to donate more than $2.7 billion to 286 organizations in categories and communities that have been historically underfunded and overlooked in 2022, according to a statement. She previously gave $5.8 billion to working charities in 2020.
“We’re overjoyed to share that MacKenzie Scott has given a transformative gift of $3 million to Collaborative for Children. This unexpected donation will strengthen a long-term, sustainable investment in our organization’s future, ensuring innovation, excellence and equity in early education continues,” said Melanie Johnson, President and CEO of Collaborative for Children, via statement.
