The donation was the largest of several unrestricted gifts sent to Alaska organizations from philanthropist Mackenzie Scott.
The foundation co-owns and co-governs the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center with a for-profit partner company. Mat-Su Health Foundation CEO Elizabeth Ripley says they reinvest their share of hospital profits back into the community through grants and scholarships. It is a very unique relationship that has yielded really significant dividends for our community.
Reflecting later on this gift of $15 million, it’s not going to be realistic for MacKenzie Scott, who’s trying to give billions of dollars away, to invest in a tiny senior center in Talkeetna – with what’s really going to be a small amount – that will do amazing work. But by giving it to us, we can make those smaller grants in what are really rural areas with low population densities, and get those dollars to address health equity issues in those communities.
