When Billionaires.Africa first reported on MacKenzie Scott's African philanthropy in July 2023, she had given over $1.1 billion to 104 nonprofits operating across the continent. That figure has since grown substantially. Scott's total giving to Africa has now crossed $1.5 billion, driven by a dramatically scaled-up philanthropic program that saw her disburse $7.1 billion globally in 2025 alone, her largest single year of giving since she pledged her fortune to the Giving Pledge in 2019.
