New Haven’s youth education and training nonprofit LEAP hit the MacKenzie Scott jackpot.
The philanthropist’s Yield Giving is donating $2 million to the Jefferson Street-based organization. The gift is one of 361 $1 million and $2 million grants Yield Giving announced on Wednesday.
“This gift will be used to advance our mission of empowering and guiding the next generation of New Haven youth toward a brighter future,” LEAP stated in announcing the grant.
MacKenzie Scott is making a huge difference in our country, giving away the majority of her fortune to worthy non-profits like LEAP across this land that often operate on shoestrings budgets and provide services to people in need.
Thank you to MacKenzie Scott, and heads up to other billionaires, instead of building spaceships, build our country and help the volunteers and organizations that are making our country a better place for us all.
