MacKenzie Scott is shaking up the world of giving

MacKenzie Scott (née Tuttle, formerly Bezos; April 7, 1970)^[1][2] is an American novelist and philanthropist.

她是“捐贈誓言”的簽署人，“捐贈誓言”承諾將至少一半的財富捐給慈善機構。[5] 到2020年，她捐贈了近60億美元的慈善禮物，這是私人每年向工作慈善機構捐款的最大額之一。[6] [7]

2006年，斯科特（Scott）因其2005年的首本小說《路德·奧爾布賴特的測試（The Testing of Luther Albright）》而獲得美國圖書獎。[8] 她的第二本小說《陷阱》於2013年出版。[9] 斯科特（Scott）自2014年創立《旁觀者革命》（Bystander Revolution）以來，一直擔任該公司的執行董事，並被《時代》雜誌評選為2020年“最具影響力的100個人”之一。

 She is a signatory to the Giving Pledge, a commitment to give at least half of her wealth to charity.^[5] In 2020, she made close to US$6 billion in charitable gifts, one of the biggest annual distributions by a private individual to working charities.^[6][7]

In 2006, Scott won the American Book Award for her 2005 debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright.^[8] Her second novel, Traps, was published in 2013.^[9] Scott has been executive director of Bystander Revolution since she founded it in 2014, and was named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2020.

在2020年7月的年中報告中，斯科特宣布她已向116個非營利組織捐贈了17億美元，重點是種族平等，LGBTQ +平等，民主和氣候變化。[30]這些組織中的兩個是傳統上是黑人的莫爾豪斯學院和霍華德大學。[31]

不到六個月後的2020年12月，斯科特表示，在過去四個月中，她又向384個組織捐贈了41.5億美元，重點是為受COVID-19大流行對經濟造成影響的人們提供支持並解決長期系統性不平等。[32]她指出，7月之後，她希望自己的諮詢團隊更快地釋放財富，因為美國在面對COVID-19的空前影響而掙扎的同時，億萬富翁的財富卻在不斷攀升。她的團隊的工作重點是“確定具有強大領導團隊和成果的組織，並特別關注那些面臨著預計的糧食不安全，種族不平等的措施高，地方貧困率高，獲得慈善資本的機會低的社區的組織。” [33 ]

她的2020年慈善捐款總計達58億美元，這是私人向工作慈善機構分配的最大年度捐款之一。
