Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott donated $7.1 billion to nonprofits in 2025
A significant increase in her annual giving compared to recent years, MacKenzie Scott announced a total $7.1 billion in donations to nonprofits in 2025.
In 2024, Scott donated $2.6 billion total, and in 2023, $2.1 billion. With this year’s donations added in, she’s donated $26.3 billion since 2019. This year, her giving was largely focused on DEI causes.
Notably, Scott’s donations come as no-strings-attached gifts to their recipients. She’s also often quiet about the gifts, and in this announcement wrote that “... any dollar amount is a vanishingly tiny fraction of the personal expressions of care being shared into communities this year.”
Good context: In 2020, Scott signed the Giving Pledge — a promise by the world’s wealthiest philanthropists to give the majority of their wealth to charitable causes — so far, though, her donations have far outpaced many of her peers.
Meaningful self-care goes beyond a simple bubble bath or at-home facial (though, those are really nice, too), and we all need support and resources to maintain self-care routines that truly benefit us.
