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.
