FEMALE BILLIONAIRES DO IT BETTER 💖 MacKenzie Scott just gave The Trevor Project $45 MILLION — the largest gift in the organization's 26-year history — and the timing couldn't be more critical.
After losing $25 million in federal funding last summer, the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line was at a crossroads.
CEO Jaymes Black said they "literally could not believe it" when notified of the donation. "I actually gasped."
The gift comes as The Trevor Project's services have become even more essential for q***r young people navigating mental health crises — filling gaps that generic crisis lines simply can't address.
Scott — who built Amazon alongside her ex-husband Jeff Bezos — donated more than $7 billion to nonprofits in 2025.
She previously gave The Trevor Project $6 million in 2020.
Scott is one of a handful of billionaires who’s signed “The Giving Pledge” — promising to part with most of their fortune while still alive 💙
