Bloomberg Spotlights MacKenzie Scott's $65 Million Donation to LISC

An article in Bloomberg highlights MacKenzie Scott’s recent unrestricted grant-making to nonprofits, including a $65 million gift to LISC. Unrestricted gifts like this, in addition to Scott’s 2020 donation of $40 million, allow LISC to build upon its work with a more flexible and innovative approach. As our CEO, Michael Pugh, noted to Bloomberg, “the ability to have unrestricted giving like this frankly allows us to unlock and tap into the American Dream for everyday Americans across our country.”

MacKenzie Scott Donates $65 Million to LISC

MacKenzie Scott, the prolific philanthropist, announced that she is donating $65 million to LISC, the largest contribution in our organization’s 45-year history. This is Scott’s second grant to LISC, which builds on a $40 million gift in 2020 that was used to seed programs that narrow gaps in health, wealth and opportunity, particularly for communities of color.
