SEATTLE — Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott continued her pledge to donate her fortune earlier this week, announcing the hundreds of nonprofits that would be receiving donations.
Of the 361 organizations selected through an external review process, Scott's Yield Giving chose 10 organizations from around Washington state to collect a portion of the total $640 million pledged by Scott. Nine of the organizations were given $2 million, while a tenth was given $1 million.
Council for the Homeless provides advocacy and "practical solutions" for the homeless population in Clark County, near the Washington-Oregon border. The organization's website features resources and contact information for a variety of different forms of assistance.
