MacKenzie Scott is donating $122.6 million to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. This donation will support 38 Big Brothers Big Sisters of America locations.

According to a statement, the donation intends to push its mission further by providing every young person with access to mentoring experiences that empower them for success in school, life, and their career.

The donation from Scott is the largest donation BBBSA has ever received since its founding, and it was a shock to Artis Stevens, the president, and CEO, when he received the news.
