She also supported a number of organizations like the Donors of Color Network and Native Americans in Philanthropy, which aim to grow civic engagement among communities of color, and charity-research leaders like the Urban Institute and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/mackenzie-scott-charitable-giving-e2e05fa8-daf2-4dfe-987e-3bab33a08a36.html\">Bridgespan Group<\/a>, which has been advising her.<\/p>\n<p>As in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@mackenzie_scott\/116-organizations-driving-change-67354c6d733d\">two previous blog<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mackenzie-scott.medium.com\/116-organizations-driving-change-67354c6d733d\">posts she wrote<\/a>\u00a0to break news of the donations, Scott again encouraged donors of all means to join her, whether those gifts are money or time.<\/p>\n<p>Scott, who was previously married to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has left it up to the causes she\u2019s funding to reveal precise totals for each gift.<\/p>\n<p>As a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=tu70lmIAAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao\">scholar of philanthropy<\/a>, I believe that Scott is modeling five best practices for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/resourcegeneration.org\/what-we-do\/social-justice-philanthropy-and-giving\/\">social change giving<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57788\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ScottPriorities.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ScottPriorities.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ScottPriorities-250x174.jpg 250w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ScottPriorities-600x417.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>1.

That\u2019s unusual, especially for her largest donations. For example, she gave $40 million to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.fullerton.edu\/2021\/06\/philanthropist-mackenzie-scott-gives-40-million-gift-to-cal-state-fullerton\/\">California State Fullerton<\/a>, a public university, in 2021.

Erik McGregor\/LightRocket via Getty Images<\/p><\/div>\n<h4><strong>3. Act first, talk later<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Rather than making lengthy announcements about her plans and taking years to give away large sums of money, Scott chose to distribute this money rapidly and directly.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike philanthropic peers like Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, Scott\u2019s initial three rounds of giving haven\u2019t been channeled through a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/future-perfect\/2020\/2\/11\/21133298\/bill-gates-melinda-gates-money-foundation\">large-scale foundation<\/a>\u00a0or other entity, like the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/09\/14\/chan-zuckerberg-initiative-what-is-it-doing-so-far.html\">Chan Zuckerberg Initiative<\/a>, bearing her own name or that of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-buffett-charities\/warren-buffett-donates-2-9-billion-to-gates-foundation-family-charities-idUSKBN2492AA\">another billionaire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And when she makes her public announcements, the gifts are already made.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Don\u2019t obsess about scale<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Many of the organizations receiving these gifts are relatively small in scale and lack widespread name recognition. The multiracial justice group\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/nonprofits\/organizations\/943311784\">Forward Together<\/a>\u00a0and the Campaign for Female Education, a global aid group often called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/nonprofits\/organizations\/542033897\">CAMFED<\/a>, for example, until recently operated on annual budgets of $5.5 million or less, while the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/nonprofits\/organizations\/472802851\">Millennial Action Project<\/a>\u00a0had an even smaller budget.<\/p>\n<p>While she\u2019s made some gifts that support relatively large public institutions of higher education, her focus has remained on schools that educate students from underserved communities. In addition to donations to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and tribal colleges, Scott has supported schools like the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucmerced.edu\/fast-facts\">University of California, Merced<\/a>, and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collegefactual.com\/colleges\/the-university-of-texas-pan-american\/student-life\/diversity\/\">University of Texas Rio Grande Valley<\/a>, both of which have Latino majorities.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Leverage more than money<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Philanthropy that\u2019s intended to bring about social change inherently expresses the donor\u2019s values, Scott acknowledged in her announcement. She continues to highlight the inequitable social structures that have put her in a position to make such significant gifts, saying \u201cit would be better if disproportionate wealth were not concentrated in a small number of hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/philanthropy.iupui.edu\/institutes\/womens-philanthropy-institute\/research\/all-in.html\">like the many women donors I\u2019ve interviewed and studied<\/a>, she is using her position as one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pictures\/richest-women-in-the-world\/49\/\">world\u2019s wealthiest women<\/a>\u00a0to amplify the voices of the leaders and groups she supports. Her goal is to encourage others to give, join or volunteer to support those same causes.<\/p>\n<p>As Scott keeps noting, her philanthropy addresses complex issues exacerbated by systemic inequality that will require sustained and broad-based efforts to solve.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> <span class=\"fn author-name\">Elizabeth J.
