I can imagine that the bus loads of bricks, pipes, and other tools of mayhem delivered to these peaceful demonstrations require maximum flexibility.
MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, said Tuesday she has donated nearly $1.7 billion to more than 100 charitable organizations following her divorce from the Amazon founder last year.
Scott wrote in a lengthy blog post that she was troubled by the events of this year but had worked with a group of advisers to support nonprofits linked to human rights, environmental and social causes. The move comes after she signed the Giving Pledge, a public promise among the world’s richest people to donate at least half of their wealth throughout their lifetimes.
...
To date, Scott has donated more than $586 million to racial equity initiatives, $46 million to LGBTQ groups, $133 million to gender equity causes and $125 million to climate change efforts.
...
All of the donations were unrestricted unless groups asked otherwise, Scott noted, in order to provide organizations with “maximum flexibility.”
