MacKenzie Scott Gave More Than $500M to Historically Black Colleges. Here’s How the Donations Made an Impact

MacKenzie Scott has a long, and well-documented, history of philanthropy, which includes donating millions to historically Black colleges and universities across the country

In 2020, according to a report from Rutgers University, the philanthropist and ex-wife of Jeff Bezos gave a whopping $560 million to 23 HBCUs scattered across the country.

Analyzing the immediate impact of Scott’s donations, Rutgers researchers found that, “on average, the median enrollment of new students was more than 300 students greater for HBCUs that received funding when compared to the median enrollment for those that did not receive funding.”

Additionally, institutions that got donations “attained retention rates fifteen percent higher than institutions that did not receive a donation,” researchers wrote in the 2021 report.

I would like to thank Mackenzie for doing just as she was supposed to do (cleave unto the house of Israel). I pray to Yahuah that she may have fruit in the day of visitation.
