Mackenzie Scott's large, unrestricted gifts have transformed nonprofits, research shows Ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has an uncommon style of giving that has brought meaningful change to charities, a new report finds.

2025 has been hard for education. Politicians have been chiseling away at public education for a long time. This administration has traded in a chisel for a sledgehammer and are going ham on one of the tenets of our democracy like an HGTV show.
