MacKenzie Scott’s money bombs
MacKenzie Scott has given away billions faster than almost any philanthropist in modern history. To understand where that money is going, we built the largest accounting of her gifts to date, tracking $4.3 billion across 375 disclosed grants and categorizing all 786 known recipients by type and geography. The result reveals a pattern of giving that is transforming education, social services and philanthropy infrastructure across the U.S.
A U.S. tile map visualizes the geographic distribution of Scott’s grants, showing which states received the most gifts. California and New York stand out, while a hover interaction highlights specific grant counts by state.
