Two groups in Walla Walla will receive a total of $16 million from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, who recently announced $4.1 billion in cash gifts to 384 groups across the U.S.
Scott, an author and the ex-wife of Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, announced the gifts Tuesday on a blog post.
The gifts were part of her making good on a promise she made last year to give away more than half the wealth she received after divorcing Bezos. These particular gifts have been distributed in the past four months, Scott said Tuesday.
