MacKenzie Scott’s $50 million gift to the National 4-H Council, which the youth-focused nonprofit called “transformational,” is part of a new patch of the philanthropist’s donations now coming to light.
The donation to the organization will support the 120-year-old government-backed youth development program.
It’s the second largest gift known to have been made by the novelist since she announced last year that she gave $2.7 billion to charitable nonprofits.
Scott has since been quiet about donations from her and her husband, Dan Jewett, in an attempt to avoid media attention.
