Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott who sold half of her Amazon stake to donate may have sent millions to organisations under FBI investigation - The Times of India

MacKenzie Scott, former spouse of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has significantly reduced her Amazon holdings to support charitable causes, donating billions of dollars in recent years. Reports indicate that some of her donations, made through her charity Yield Giving to the Solidaire Network, may have indirectly supported organisations currently under federal investigation for alleged ties to Hamas and involvement in anti-Israel protests. While there is no evidence that Scott's unrestricted gifts were directed specifically to these groups, the Solidaire Network has funded a wide range of progressive initiatives, including those focused on racial and gender equality, climate change, and economic justice.

Scott's philanthropic approach is notable for its lack of restrictions, allowing recipient organisations to allocate funds as they see fit. Despite criticism over her support for Solidaire Network, she remains one of the world's most influential donors, with her contributions making a substantial impact on diversity, education, disaster relief, and social justice efforts. Her giving is motivated by personal experiences and a belief in the transformative power of generosity and kindness.
