The donation was given by MacKenzie Scott, who is a billionaire novelist and venture philanthropist.
Scott is the richest woman in the world, and 18th richest person globally, with a net worth of over $60 billion, and is the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Scott donated a total of $4,158,500,000 to 384 organizations across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington D.C.
Jodi Litz a Specialist for Meal on Wheels Western South Dakota said the $1.5 million donation was the largest gift in the nonprofitâs 39-year history, and came as a surprise.
âThis was not a solicited request. We were sent the money as a surprise,â said Litz. âEspecially right now with COVID it is such a critical moment, that seniors are relying on us not just for the hot meals, but for the one-on-one connection, as so many are currently isolated and alone.â

Christmas came early for Meals on Wheels Western South Dakota when it received $1.5 million from author, philanthropist and billionaire MacKenzie Scott. The gift will allow Meals on Wheels to replace aging kitchen equipment and potentially serve more people and communities.

When Darin Newton graduated from the University of Montana with a masterâs degree seven years ago, he fully expected to be working in his area of study: wildlife biology. When his wife, also a wildlife biologist, took a job in the Belle Fourche area, Newton began working as a kindergarten assistant and substitute teacher in the Belle Fourche school district. It was a temporary thing, meant to last only until he found a job in his field. But then something completely unexpected happened.
âI really enjoyed being around the kids,â Newton said. âAnd then the next two years I moved up in the different grade levels and found that I really enjoyed being in the classroom. I really enjoyed interacting with the students. And that got me thinking, âmaybe this is something I could get into.ââ
