Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott is donating $50 million to the National 4-H Council, which is part of a new group of donations Scott is making to organizations.
to the National 4-H Council, which supports the 120-year-old youth development program, is the second-largest gift known to have been made by Scott since she announced in 2021 that she gave $2.7 billion to charitable nonprofits.The National 4-H Council, which supports The Department of Agriculture’s 4-H Youth Development Program, said in a statement that Scott’s gift will support "positive youth development" for nearly six million kids and their families.
Jennifer Sirangelo, the president and CEO of the council, told the Associated Press that the organization received a call in December informing them the gift was coming their way. And the amount came as a surprise.
