Click to see story on 1059theregion.comSince 2019, Scott has donated $19.2 billion to close to 2,500 nonprofits with the support of her advisers. The author published a blog post detailing her giving on her website, Yield Giving.

She said her advisers help manage her assets and create a fund for companies to pull directly from. Her website says it was established with the idea of “adding value by giving up control.”
Scott has created a trust-based system with unrestricted grants. It allows recipients to spend the funding however necessary to further their organization’s mission.
While Scott has signaled her support for a wide array of groups –– from affordable housing to educational support for girls in Africa –– experts said the billionaire is starting to focus more on issues surrounding poverty.
Even with her significant giving, Forbes estimates Scott’s wealth to be more than $30 billion.
Scott’s wealth partially stems from her divorce from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and the shares in the company that she received following the separation.
