Six Michigan nonprofits, many dedicated to working with communities of color or in the arts, got a substantial boost Tuesday thanks to philanthropist and author MacKenzie Scott.
Known for donating billions of dollars to nonprofits in the last two years, Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, on Tuesday announced another round of $2.6 billion in gifts to 286 organizations. In Michigan, ACCESS, Allied Media Projects, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Mosaic Youth Theatre, Motown Museum and the Sphinx Organization all received donations.
The Motown Museum s $5 million gift from Scott is one of the largest donations it has received during a $25 million fundraising campaign.
